Your would then torque the balancer bolt on to the recommended 120 psi I believe. All things being done correctly and distributor correct is that safe to assume I got it right?

I believe the crank pulley then goes on right after that, correct?

Thanks so much... Kyle

Yes, you can buy the Pontiac service manuals through PY.

Yes, you would install the harmonic balancer onto the crank. (This is a slip fit for Pontiacs, no balancer install tool is necessary.) No lineup is necessary because the balancer is keyed to the crankshaft. The balancer attaching bolt is torqued 160 foot pounds. The crank pulley is installed next, as you state.
