yes that's the same pointer, and the same spot on my 302.
so if the#1 piston is up and both valve closed and I put the dist in with the rotor so it is pointing on the #1 post. the damper should be as shown in pic,, simple basic stuff .but if not . I can mark the damper with yellow or white paint where it is and use this as a new timing mark,and rotate this a few times to make sure this where it is at all time then the damper has moved and needs to be replaced, if it moved that much id hate to have come apart at any rpm I should be able to start this like this ..????
