me...harmonic balancers weren't necessary on Powerglides. The torque
converters did essentially the same sort of job.
Otherwise, the harmonic balancer is recommended.

Rodney,
GM put the harmonic balancers on the PG versions of the higher horsepower
engines for the same reasons they put them on the manual transmissions.
I've heard your point before, and I'm sure someone else can provide the
engineering info, but a torque converter doesn't do the job a harmonic balancer
does. Your engines your cars, but I'll stick to my harmonic balancers (and
when I can't afford rebuilt I'll go to my stash of used ones).
