Things are starting to come together

I thought you had mentioned to me it was machined way back when. Anyway when I measured it, it has a .180 register so .030 seems to have been taken off. But the way the lower pulley keeps pulling loose there's definitely not enough register to help keep it in place. IW makes a balancer with a 4 magnet hub and then they also make up to a 12 magnet trigger wheel which is where I got the idea for the wheel I made in Solidworks. **But I do not want to lose that much resolution. However if what I am making does not work I will get their 12 magnet wheel and remove one magnet making it a 12-1 wheel and swap crank sensors and be done.
Blower is on, going to stick with my baby 7inch pulley. Test drive was safe mode on the way to TMS and sitting in line for an hour at the LMR cruise.Thank you, me too. Once you put that blower kit on you’ll have a giant set of NASA parts on the front of the crank too
NICE! Glad you got it all together, I'm very sad I missed the LMR event.
So I gave up on my crank trigger wheel dream. There's just no way to make it all work unless you machine the balancer or lower pulley hub. So I swapped to a 12 magnet front cover balancer still kept the thicker "blower hub" option.. I'd prefer the increased accuracy of the 36-1 wheel over a 12-1, but I do not think it will be any big deal. Hopefully will get it all back together this weekend if work permits...
Interesting this may be the "pop" I could never find on my truck will look as I rebuild her!
The, the what!? Adding another feature to look for on my truck. So far I’ve lucky enough to catalog enough of the known issues from here in my lizard brain that when something is off I’m already hitting the checkout button with the stuff in my saved lists. Having a Summit Racing 30 miles away helps too.
Raymond, don’t know if there are any more events coming up but I look forward to seeing your truck and stealing ideas.
Will do, there's always the 3rd Sat of the month "cruise" that the Camp Bowie folks do, I hope to get the truck running for the November one. Then I *think* there's an LMC Truck event in March or April at the Speedway.

That is a great setup right there!
Good news is the seal installer worked like a champ. That’s the fastest I’ve ever installed a seal 
Bad news is the balancer diameter is too big and hits the bottom water pump bolt housing.
Be on the lookout for a good deal on a IW 12 magnet balancer…

I’m running an SN95 timing cover and pump, but still it’s not like those are uncommon.
OK, so it turns out it's quite common to have to grind the bottom of SN95 water pumps to clear aftermarket balancers. There's also different water pumps that have more of a flat bolt boss vs a round one. I ordered one off Summit that looks to be better, I'll test fit it this weekend in-between family stuff I hope...

Hmmm, Im running the SN-95 cover and water pump from Jamie V's truck on my 93, but with a stock balancer. Do these cause any issues with the blower pullies?
Naaa you'll be fine, this is just with the larger aftermarket diameter balancers.
You could hang that image as a portrait in an art studio and someone would buy it.Just took some grinding on the one bolt boss, appears to be back in bidness, yay.
That really is impressive.
