After doing some searches, I find a number of folks recommend a OEM harmonic balancer for a stock engine but am not sure where to get one. RockAuto has some aftermarket brands and theres a guy on ebay is selling NOS parts. I'm not comfortable going with 40 year old NOS rubber and would like to hear where people buy thier OEM stuff from.

Stay away from a brand called POWER FORCE. Nothing but junk! I installed one on my 360. less than 200 miles later, the outer ring came off. I notified the supplier for these, they also supply the CROSSWIND intakes, I told them that I didn't want anything from them. I just wanted to let them know about this problem. I was told that it was out of warranty from time. I told them that was fine, but there was still a problem with their part. I was told that I should have purchased a RACE version that was rated at a higher RPM. The one I had was rated at 6500 RPM. I told him that I shifted it at 6300 RPM. They then emailed me a RGA & asked for it back, They said they would take care of it. Well 2-months later & my calls & emails not returned & out the shipping to send it back, I have nothing. Bottom line, this chinese stuff is crap!
