I used to have photos of the W31 harmonic balancer, what I remember is that it's stepped down, not just one big ring but like one larger diameter one attached to one that's a little smaller. I have three or four different balancers and a couple are very large, but the W31 is really rare and goes for a pile of money. It'd be really cool if that's what you had, but the odds are against it. I'd love to see some pictures of the car, and maybe one of us could help identify anything your unsure about. Also I'm thinking a regular 1969 442 should have a 400 engine, but the vin should also identify it as a 442. John
I can take some pictures, but not sure how to post them here? The VIN definately identifies it as a 442, and the engine is definately a '69 350 and has all the "right" casting numbers for the W-31 package... built at the right plant; the car also has a rear sway bar which is part of the W-31 package, as is the four-row radiator, and of course the spoiler. It has been repainted, but the repaint follows the W stripe pattern... it would be too cool if this turned out to be a genuine W-31 car.
