I am looking for a harmonic balancer for a 1959 230 cubic inch in line 6 cylinder flat head engine. I am trying to rebuild this engine for a friend and I have had some trouble locating parts. The balancer that was on the engine has a crack and is just before having a come apart. I would appreciate any help or point in the right direction to locate this part. ------------------

A '59 "flathead"?!?!
Savoy is a car, I thought the flathead was only used in trucks and military vehicles by then?[This message has been edited by Thunderstruck GT (edited 03-10-2016).]

As I was informed from its owner that flat head 6 was used in many applications. It appears in the service manual like the base model of Savoy. [This message has been edited by Butter (edited 03-10-2016).]

Wow I didn't know flat heads were in cars that late either.
"The basic Plymouth six remained in production from its introduction in October 1932 until the cessation of 1959 model production (and it was based on the existing DeSoto Six). At that time the Valiant moved to the new Slant Six. ...
Introduced-mid-year, 1954, was a 110-horsepower "Powerflow Six", a 230 cubic inch unit formerly exclusive to Dodge.
In 1956, 40% of Plymouth buyers still chose the tried and true 230 cid PowerFlow Six shared with Dodge. The Plymouth version pushed out 125 hp, the Dodge 131 hp at 3600 rpm; but Plymouth buyers could buy a Power Pack for the six, which made it the same as the Dodge, with a Stromberg dual throat carburetor, special intake manifold, larger air cleaner, and a 3.9 rear-axle ratio. For 1957, the Dodge and Plymouth engine both put out 132 hp.
Heat-resistant exhaust valves were used in 1959. Horsepower was still 132 at 3600 rpm.
Plymouth and Dodge cars soldiered on until 1959 with the same 230 cid versions.
Dodge trucks continued through to 1968 with a 250.6 cid version, used in the 1961-68 WM300 Power Wagon"
