If it were mine, I'd bring it around to #1 compression, bring the piston up to TDC and check the marks on the damper against the pointer. If they're not close then something's wrong. Could be the damper's de-laminated and the outer ring's slipped. Could be the timing chain jumped. Could be you missed the distributor position by a tooth or two when you put the new one in place. Doing a compression check is a good step, but I'd start with the basics first and get your timing marks right even before I tried that. Just my $0.02 and how I'd attack it. If your dampers de-laminated, or if your timing jumped a tooth or two you don't want to simply re-mark the damper and try to use it. Again, just my humble opinion.
