That isn't a seal. It's part of the damper.
Go aftermarket for a replacement. You'll want the same weight as what you have (28oz for early, 50oz after mid-81). Fluidampr and TCI make good replacements. 6k rpm is nothing for a 302, so shoot for something that's rated a bit higher.

RE: harmonic balancer
your joking right? lol
agreed that a fluidamper or tci is a better choice - but i figured if the guy is contemplating using that disaster of a balancer something cheap yet better than stock would be in order.
....and again

I've spun a stocker up to 7k. Is it a good idea? Nope, but that doesn't stop me.
You gave and option and I gave more options. Never know someone else's budget or intent or how it's built up.
