    Hello,
    I am new here! I have a 1975 Ford Maverick with a L6 250 engine. I am replacing several parts before I drive it from Missouri to Florida and back for college. The harmonic balancer gasket between the two parts is dry-rotted, causing the pulley to wobble. I would like to buy a brand new one, but, after searching at national auto parts stores and online at places such as JEGS and Rockauto, I have been unable to find any for that particular engine. Pulleys for the 200's are plentiful, but, for some reason, There seems to be none for the 250. If I can't find any, I just may have to rebuild this balancer, but wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. Thanks!

    Ok, that was what I was thinking I would have to do. Do you know of any reason that I cannot find that particular balancer anywhere?
