1995 3800 HARMONIC BALANCER
I ordered a new harmonic balancer for a NA and received one for a supercharged eng. (My mistake, Didn't pay close enough attention to vin #) I'm in a time crunch and would like to know if it will work. It'* going to cost me an arm and leg to buy one locally AND return the one I have.
That'* a very interesting question. I'd assume that as far as fitment goes, yes. And you'll use only the inside belt path.
I would suggest flipping them over and aligning the crankshaft key locations carefully, and then very carefully inspect the placement of the 18x and 3x interruptor rings. Even a couple degrees can make a difference.......
But it might be more complicated than that in the long run. The 95 Supercharged motor was a Series 1 engine. The 95 non-supercharged was a Series 2. That was the crossover year for the two engines. Timing issues may abound.

Thanks. I have now located a correct (I hope) balancer locally. (At a premium price) So I can compare them when I pull it apart. But at least I will be able to have it on the road for next week for my turn to carpool.
