the following is my the Professional Products page about their balancers.
Small block Chevy - These engines have used three different timing pointer locations. Pre '69 engines have the TDC mark 2° to the left of the keyway centerline. The '69 to '85 dampers have the TDC mark 10° to the left of the keyway centerline. The 1986 to 1991/1992 have the TDC mark 40° to the left of the timing mark. All of our SB Chevy dampers, as well as all other aftermarket dampers, use the 10° TDC position. Our 6.75" diameter models have two TDC marks, one that is 10° and one that is 40° to the left of the timing mark. If you have a pre '69 vehicle you can use one of the aftermarket bolt-on timing pointers to align correctly with the timing marks on our dampers.
my engine is from a 71' vehicle. I'm using the following timing pointer:
