I am in the market for a harmonic balancer installer for my 360

From my research, there isn't a Mopar specific tool on the market. You would need to purchase a kit with various size adapters. Which has a wide range in price with various quality levels - mostly bad

I did find a proform 66522 which uses 3/4-16 threads which I believe is 60-early 90s mopar

Can anyone confirm this is the correct thread

Anyone use this tool for the install?
 
The Harbor Freight set has3/4 x 16. My MAC tool set has it as well. I used it on my Dakota not long ago.
 
I went to the Nut & Bolt supply business and bought an off the self length of grade 8 all thread an some grade 8 nuts and washers for around 24 dollars and made one for me and a buddy with enough rod to make 3 more.

Tap the center in with a rubber mallet until you can get a few threads in the hole, then slowly crank it down. I have never used a tool. Just dont hit outside the damper ring

That is what I have always done, on my recent build a friend was doing the full engine assembly (something I haven't done) and he didn't like using the threads on the crank to pull the balancer in (potential to damage the treads), a bolt is expendable.
I still think we are splitting hairs but it made him happy so I made the tool.

Big Thank You to Murray for letting my borrow the tool. Install was easy and complete
