 Tried to research this my own, but not able to get enough detail.  I have a harmonic balancer that reads C8OE 6316 A2 SS.  I was thinking of putting it on a 302, but want to make sure it belongs on a small block and has the correct balance for the 28 oz engine.  Does anyone know what this went to, or where i can go to look it up?  Best I was able to find by web surfing was it goes to a 68 fairlane, but engine type I couldn't determine.  Thanks for any guidance.

 I just checked four of my parts books and I couldn't come up with that number. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com

 Thanks for checking.  I might try calling a parts counter at a local dealership and see if they're willing to help on Monday.  Things in great shape, just not sure if its correct.  Otherwise, a refurbished one from Autozone is in the works.

 BINGO! I just removed my old balancer and it reads C8OE 6316 A2 SS. Now I can't guarantee it's original, but it's on an otherwise totally original 68 302 4V. Simon

 C- 60S 8= 1968 0=FAIRLANE E= ENGINE PART I THINK!! it would have to be a 28oz balance because the 50oz did not come in till abouT 1981.  i think!!!------------------ mike r racing is real  everything else is just a game. 81 capri-7.51 @89mph 1/8 1.54 60 ft. http://prestage.com/site/site_display.asp?SiteID=141

 Yup, the "O" is Fairlane, but I have one old source citing the original 65/6 289 damper as a C5O part - which wouldn't be surprising right? Weren't the early Stangs just disguised Fairlanes? Maybe Ford continued using Fairlane dampers for a while? Or does a C8Z damper exist?
