You need the really thin one from the 327. It's the same crank as the 307.



One other thing, if you go with the thin balancer, you'll need the short water pump that came with the 327 or your pulleys won't line up.

If the balancer won't fit the lower gear is not seated correctly. No balancer will fit. The balancers are not double or single chain specific.

HILRODi is correct. if it fit before, it should fit after. I would agree that it may not be fully seated. The gear should seat agains the crank snout, and the balancer should seat on the gear. Go back and double check.
