318 pulley alignment

I know there have been lots of posts on this topic, but in reading through them I am still unsure what I need to do next. My 318 is coming together, but my crank and water pump pulley alignment is off. I originally suspected I was going to have to space the water pump pulley out perhaps due to a shorter water pump snout. However I just put the alternator on and it seems to line up with the water pump pulley. So now I'm thinking my crank pulley needs to be further back; maybe because my damper is too thick, or maybe I didn't get is fully seated correctly?? Seems like it will be easier to resolve this issue before the engine goes back in the car... But then lord knows how my power steering pulley alignment will end up looking!
I will post a few pics of my situation shortly.
Thanks!
