Harmonic balancer help

[cmozez]

I want a new harmonic balancer for my rebuilt engine. The local Napa store wants $122 for one. Does anyone know where to find one a bit cheaper? The ones for 81 and up are easy to find for $60 but the 79-80 are not so cheap.

i got my ford ( aftermarket) one for 90 bucks but i had to buy an spacer to make it work on my 88.

The FMS M-6316-M50 balancer is a duplicate of the OEM part. Cost is $ 68.95 .

Sorry, I guess I should have stated that mine is a 79 pace car. Jrichker, thanks for the info but i don't think I can use that one. I wonder what the difference is?
