need help with my 454

I am putting my 454 together and i have run into a problem, when I bring number one piston to tdc my timing mark on the balancer is pointing at the 5 o'clock position. has the outer ring on my balancer moved, do I have the wrong balancer ( is that possible), am I doing something wrong. Thanks for the help.

Re: need help with my 454

could be either of those ...... old balancers will slip if the rubber ring between the halves is wore out...

Re: need help with my 454

did you change your timing pointer maybe to a chrome or aftermarket one?- just reread your post.... I think you got the wrong balancer...

Re: need help with my 454

So there is more than one type of balancer for the 454?

If the balancer is used, then I would say the outer ring has walked. I have run into this more than once myself.
