is the harmonic balancer engine color or black or ?
appreciate help from the great buick guys of this forum.

As far as the harmonic balancer I would think the pulley is black and the rest not painted black as this would match the other pulleys.

My understanding is that the balancers were in place when the engine was painted. My 39 Special's was the same gray as the engine block. Water pump pulley was black as it was not in place when engine was painted. Anyone else??
