Finished up on the Harmonic Balancer installation and took the Ol' Girl for a ride. I was surprised that the engine did seem to run smoother throughout the RPM range, especially at the higher end. I decided to leave the segmented bely on also. As an added bonus, with the reverse spiral it seemed to cure a slight oil leak I had from the front seal. I think this is one of my better additions to my engine.

Now to go finish up. It is amazing how loud and warm it is when the floor insulation and carpet is not installed.
