318 balancer on a 360 crank advice needed

I have a different 318 that is complete and running in a car. The balancer is quite close to the timing marks cast in the cover, but when I installed this it sets a bit more than 1/4 inch from the marks
Ok and have you compared it to haw far back another balancer sits, or are you just "feeling like" it doesn't go back far enough? I'm sorry I don't have any small blocks to compare to. The closest thing I have is my 331 Hemi which does have a small block balancer (340) but it has a custom timing cover. I don't think comparing to that would do you any good.
