you are going to need to put a timing mark on the balancer on the passenger side to match tdc on the timing chain cover...by using the diameter of the balancer you can figure out how far to measure to find additional timing makers...
Thanks, after looking at the factory balancer there don't appear to be any marks on it but I have to clean it.

or you can change out the timing chain cover..water pump and radiator to match the newer damper...

I'm not sure that I understand your issue...

What timing cover, radiator, and water pump are you using and in what vehicle???
Stock 1967 LA that came in the 67 notch I am working on.

If I know what you have and where you need to go, I may be able to offer a suggestion and help you from going down the wrong path...

Pictures would be very helpful if you can post a few...


What side of the timing cover are your timing marks?
They are not on the cover, but on a bolt-on bracket that attaches to the bottom two bolts of the water pump.

What year and model vehicle is it in?
1967 Barracuda notch 273.

What radiator are you running? the 60's style or 70 and later?

What water pump do you have, aluminum or cast iron?
