Forty seven years after your car was built, there is significant
reason to think that the timing mark has probably rotated some on
the balancer. The internal rubber may have shrunk and lost its
vulcanization. This is why companies offer balancer rebuilding. It
is almost imperative that you find top dead center of #1 piston on
compression stroke and mark your balancer based on that. If it
happens to fall right on the original markings, great!
