harmonic balancer problems

I have a 302 in a 1966 ford f100. Not sure what year engine is in the truck. While installing a new Comp thumper cam we noticed the rubber protruding from the harmonic balancer. I have searched ebay and several junk yards for a used replacement. The casting numbers on the balancer are C8ZE . We found castings in the intake valley that says 302 WF 1 and a circula set of numbers 63167. My question is. Can this balancer be repaired? Or what year could this engine be to search for a replacement. I will try to post photos. Thanks.

They can be repaired. The problem with a junker is it will be a crapshoot and maybe worse than what's on there now.
