RE: [Chrysler300] Damper report

[Ray Melton <rfmelton@xxxxxxx>]

How can I tell if the TDC mark on the vibration damper for my 1957 300C has
shifted?  I just recently adjusted all the valves on the assumption that
everything was OK with the correct TDC location, but I now realize that
assumption may be erroneous!  In lieu of a dial indicator, is the old "soda
straw in spark plug hole for cylinder #1" method close enough?

The oem damper has a 3/16 inch gap from factory assembly which allowed it to
rub the motor and make the racket that announced its eminent death and the
timing mark has rotated almost 180 degrees from factory. Sending it off to
Damper Dudes in Anderson CA. Will report the outcome.
