Just ran into a slipped balancer on a 1935 C2 Airflow couple last week! Off by over an inch!

It did not wobble at all. Cracking at the rubber to metal pieces ... Not bad looking though.

well if you might be facing inaccurate damper markings, do a static timing to TDC then check with your light, if it is not reading TDC at idle give or take a degree, than that would suggest your marks are off. You can adjust timing by vacuum gauge.  Set idle to 500, attach vacuum gauge to intake adjust timing to highest steady reading, redo idle back to 500 if necessary and drive the vehicle.  This will usually give you a slightly to advanced setting that may result is a bit of spark knock or ping under load, accelerating or climbing a hill.  If that occurs retard the timing  turn dist clockwise) in small increments till your ping knock pre ignition is gone  this will give you a setting that reflects your actual driving conditions, and fuel.  But you should still look into the crank pulley situation.

That had to be difficult to find.

We took one off another correct eight cylinder engine. Not an easy job though as the radiator has to come out-not an easy job.. The cooling fan runs off the crank pulley on these big Airflows.

Odd cars for sure.

It seems to be getting a good squirt from the acc pump there is an extra white mark on the damper so i will look into that .

I will take #1 plug out and find tdc and find out where its at .
