Well hey! I am glad that that worked for you! It sounds like there are a lot of other great ideas out there, but I have always been too lazy to try them.
I have to tell you that I am not at all familiar with the harmonic balacer that must be something different on the 700 series than on my 240 b20f engine... I just have the crankshaft pully. There is a key slot in the pully that fits onto the crank. I marked the distributor rotor to find TDC and verified by taking out the spark plug for cylinder #1. I think I have had to jam a screw driver onto the flywheel to tighten the bolt back up, but it seemed a lot easier to tighten it to speck than it was to remove it, but then thats usaully the case I guess. Hey maybe you can reverse the polarity on the starter and have it tighten the bolt instead of loosening it! Just kidding.
I guess the rope trick would work now too and I would feel better about using it to tighten the bolt as there would not be as much pressure used. Make sure the key is algined though for sure!
