What year did Ford switch from 3 bolt to 4 bolt crank balancers?
I want to find a single groove crank pulley if at all possible for my 302, but its a later model with the 4 bolt balancer. What year did Ford start using the 4 bolt instead of the 3? Anyone know a particular Ford that would have had such a pulley? Obviously a non-power, non-ac, pre-smog.
Will a pulley from other Ford engines fit the small block?
So many forums here it was hard to decide which ones to post the question.

Good luck, for some reason junk yards love to pull the accesories off the engine and throw them in a pile. I still haven't found pulleys that line up all the way. I am using a 4 bolt balancer from an 84 302 and a pulley from an unknown engine.

69-70 is when it happened. Yeah, get all the brackets/accessories you can from a complete motor and use them. Ford had so many different offset and diameter pulleys back then. You will burn up lots of time searching for individual parts/pulley/brackets/etc.
