I ran out of salt cure that I have been using for a long time.I got it from an old butcher shop thats no longer around.On the bag it says : RE-LY-ON FAST CURE, Salt ,Sodium Nitrite 6% ,Sodium Nitrate 3% .I was using 2 TBS per 3 Lbs. of meat.What is the next best thing to use and at what rate.Thanks

I would suggest Mortons Tender Quick but you may want to check some recipes, I'm thinking about 1 tsp per lb of meat but it's been a while since I used it.

Tender Quick 1 tbs per pound. But check the bag.

The ingredients in what you had sounds like Morton's Tender Quick like already mentioned or maybe their Sugar Cure.
