     If you are sure about the year of engine it is possible to get the correct balancer.  Did the one you have slip or broke and moved ?  Or was it installed wrong.
     You have another option for timing.  Search the web for "timing with vacuum", some people swear by this method.  Personally I like to visually check the dist. And use a timing light.  But I have done it by vacuum and it gets it real close.
