Harmonic balancer sparking

I think my balancer is rubbing my fuel line.

I just replaced it, and i saw some sparks when i started it up. I runs the best it has in 6 months, but those sparks scare me.

Is there anything else it could be rubbing against?

Could be rubbing against the timing cover.

I would definately fix it.

it would be a lot better to take a look at your engine and see what the problem is and fix it than asking on here. timing cover as was said, trans cooler lines, and anything else in the area could be the problem.

Also check to see if it's simply rubbing against the timing tab.
