    I've been doing some research on stock Ford balancer a and I've found there are many varieties. Of the 4 bolt 28oz variety there appears to be several options regarding the distance between the pulley mounting flange and the back end of the snout that goes into the timing cover. Does anyone know what applications used the longest measurement? I'm trying to find one to use with my 351w and fox serpentine set up.

    There are spacers sold to make up the difference...

    They certainly do, but since I have to purchase a balancer I'd like to purchase one that does not need the spacer, if one does exist.
