Should work as long as the pulleys line up. Some 346s had a harmonic balancer the 322 did not. They don't work like modern balancers. They use weights and springs and can be problematic to rebuild.

Putting a balancer on a 322 may make for a balance problem. What is wrong with your old pulleys? What is your budget for the correct pulleys? Please advise.
Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob, It will probably fit but it MAY cause another balancing problem. I'll look tomorrow to see if I have the correct one for you.

Also pay attention to the timing marks. I received one and the timing marks on the one I received were about 30 degrees out; I was fortunate to look before I installed saving a lot of headache. It probably had been reworked.
