I borrowed Bill Pickering's Renegade HB and notice differences with my old Jaide sourced HB...
The shaft collar is taller on the Jaide. I thought these were "standard" GM 6 cyl HB's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) The Renegade HB (even with the spacer) will actually "work" without modification since I lost .25" with a Milodon timing gear drive. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) The whole issue is alignment with the alt and water pump pulleys. Question 1, are the taller collared HB's still available and is any other converter using them? I know DH has a set of spacers behind the HB. Question 2, What is the clearance between inner HB surface to engine block? Seems the Renegade is mounted pretty close to the block... Attached image(s) |

I think you will find that your Jaide is for a 283 engine. They were different. I have one on mine and it is just like yours. The 283 also didnt have a bolt holding it on the front of the crank. It is pressed on instead. It really doesnt make me feel secure with it not bolted but I figured if GM designed it that way, it must be ok. So far it has worked just fine. If you are running a different engine this time ie: 350 later block, I would go with the RH or DH HB.
