I need the torque spec for the Harmonic Balancer for the 2.8L 1975.
Thanks,

Greetings,
My Clymer manual says " tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to 92-103 ft-pounds" for the V6. It does not mention the Harmonic balancer by name.

I'll check my Haynes or Chilton for confirmation.

Greetings again,
Confirmed on those torque specs in Chilton, with footnote saying "crankshaft damper bolt". 92- 103 ft- lbs

Thanks a lot. That spec seems kind of high for the 4 pulley assembly bolts but I'll take it for the Balancer bolt. :)

You got that right, just the BIG bolt at those numbers. The pulley should be less than 37-40 ft lbs.
