Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I assume you have to take off the pulley each time you change the seal. Did you put in a new bolt each time as well?

Not that big of a mistake - it'll be just fine with a new bolt. Just so you know... achieving the actual torque spec is next to impossible. We had 2 guys with a breaker bar on it trying to hit 140* and I think we may have only gotten to ~110* (pretty typical from what I've read)

thankyou for your information. i torqued the old one down but you know how that went.. big torque wrench and we will see what happens.
Well Ken came out to my place today and took care of the situation. New balancer, seal, bolt, & belt. Everything seems to be just fine, we did a test drive, the car feels a lot better and there doesn't seem to be an oil leak at all.
Huge props to Ken for manning up to the situation, it was an honest mistake that he took care of for me on his time.

Unfortunately no vids, but I did get to Milan yesterday. The car ran a 12.3 @ 110 with a 1.9 60 foot so it's just not hooking up. We found out that the tires are pretty old and the people with me said I need to do a hell of a longer burnout as well. Live and learn, but I had a really good time and the car is running great otherwise. I ended up winning first round of eliminations at the HS nationals, but went too fast on the second round.

well slick have a used life of about 2 years years some will not agree. a longer burn-out on a older slick can help. either way the way i do my burn-outs is start out in secound gear run the rpms up to about 4-5k rpms then shift to secound, hold your rpms in secound to around 3-3500 rpms till you feel the tires start to push you. I hope you had alot of fun
did you have to pedal the car at all or anything? That mph seems a bit down on power to me, I'm certain that car wants more gear and converter.
I pedaled it off the line because it was spinning but that's it. I don't disagree with you on the gear and converter idea though, just a matter of time before it gets done.
