You don't want one. Cameron Tilley used to break cranks when he ran one. ATI is what you want if you truly want the best. But they are not a direct replacement. The best direct replacement I'm aware of is probably the Romac.

So what leads you to believe you want a Fluidamper?

Im not really set on a fluid dampner,,however it would be nice..I am getting alot of vibration, and thinking it could be the 40+ year old dampner. Does Romac make a Fluid dampner? I figure if I'm going to change it, why not a fluid dampner if they make one.

You won't feel vibration if the damper fails. The damper deals with torsional vibration and very little of that makes it past the flywheel or torque converter. Again Fluidampers are not good at doing the job of damping torsional vibrations in a slant six. If this is s stock application buy a new replacement damper and troubleshoot the vibration as a separate problem.

If you are getting a lot of vibration, then make sure to inspect your motor mounts.
