The trick is to find the center point of the rotating mass. On mine, I had to pretty much guesstimate just by looking. I actually got it real close...it would sit still in horizontal positions, but when turned on its side, it tended to roll over upside-down. So it was just a little top-heavy. I remedied this by putting the leaf springs on it and it pretty much balanced it so that itd stay still in any position. Of course, I still used lock pins to hold it while working on it. However, if you make one thats adjustable, you could set it at different heights until it was balanced. I made mine solely for a first generation F-body, so it wasnt adjustable.
