Does anyone know if this would work for a 94 camaro? I am not sure of all the differences, so I am just wondering. It says for 96-97 camaro.

save your money and get an ATI

 

This really isn't for a performance car, its just needed to get by. Its cheap and it is keyed so I can time my carbed lt1.

Thanks,

i would rather use a stock one than that thing...them are cheap pieces of junk

 

Do you know from experience? Have you bought one?

The way I see it, it has a keyed hub and degreed balancer. For my application it looks good, but if there is an actual reason not to buy one, I won't. By actual reason, I mean not "cheap pieces of junk"...... just because of the brand. I have a few performance plus products that I have been happy with. There have also been a few that I have been unhappy with so I was just looking for someones opinion of this actual part....

Thanks,
Ryan

 

im just saying most of the stuff thats on ebay thats "cheaply priced" off-brand stuff is usually junk

 

The hub length is different between 93-95 and 96/97 because of the crank position sensor added in 1996 with OBD-II. They indicate they supply spacers to correct for the varying hub length, so its hard to see why it would only fit the 96/97 models. You might want to ask them if it fits a 94.

Professional Products is largely a supplier of cheap Chinese rip-off copies of popular US-made aftermarket parts.

 

A 96-97 balancer is shorter than the 95 & earlier units due to the reluctor. Your belts will not align properly with the wrong unit.

 

I think it would be fine, for a stock replacement.

I just installed a Powerforce Plus from CNC Motorsports about an hour ago. That's the higher-end $175 SFI, steel version of what you bought. The thin steel spacer they provided seems to have aligned the pulley depth same as stock, but I don't have the accessories back on to double check. Took all I could give it with a 1/2 wratchet to pull it on and ARP lube on the bolt, and I'm not positive I fully seated it yet.

The part looks great, but carb cleaner easily washed some paint off the hub when I was cleaning the threads for Locktite. The box says 'Professional Products, Hawthorne, CA'. Nowhere does it say made in China.

 

I cant look at ebay at work, but I bought one with a similar discription and it wont seal, and is leaking really bad.

 

Good reading, even if it is a Ford magazine.......

You're asking for trouble, pulling it on with the bolt. Ask anyone that has stripped out their crank threads.
