Default Looking for some reassurance... or correction

I have a balancer that I removed from a 1966 Sprint motor. I was talking to an interested buyer and they tried to tell me that it was not correct for a Sprint. Just wondering who is correct?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a difference between 1bbl and 4bbl balancers in '66?

Unlike most of us that have these parts scattered to the 4 corners of the earth,Jeff has them handy.
Thanks for that.

Some balancers share the center hub between 1 and 4bbl.
Of note is 66-7 have a smaller bore than 68-9 due to increase in crank snout size

That does appear to be a 1966 Sprint balancer that Justin has.
