Won't Fire - Need Help!

Was thinking about this one too... Any thoughts on how to verify this? I know the 70 318 I pulled from the car had timing marks on the passenger side of timing chain.. Used a different vibration dampener and timing chain cover with timing marks on drivers side on the 340. Is there a such thing as mismatched dampener (timing marks) and timing chain covers? If so, is there a simple way tell which is which?? Yikes! Am I confusing myself (And others)??!! Ha-ha...

Pull #1 plug and bring the piston up to TDC intake compression and see if the balancer lines up with zero on the mark. This will tell you if it's off or not.

What year of 340 and was the original crank, damper and front dress reused?
