First off, you have a harmonic damper and not a balancer. The inline six is balanced by design.
I used this fellow -- top notch rebuild for like $50 or so. I think he may even exchange cores so you don't have to wait so long.
Do bear in mind -- different years had different locations for the timing marks -- I swapped a 300 3 ring onto my 240, and then I had to find TDC all over again, which was a PITA. But the damper is fine, damper doctor is highly recomended.

You want to be careful the Oreilly catalog showed the Pioneer as fitting my 1984 three groove didn't bother to check until I got it home and it was for the serpentine belt. Called Pioneer and they said they don't make one for the vbelts. So the catalogs at O'reilly's are wrong.Got the Dorman form the local mm and pops parts store and it was right.
