Don's right. I don't know how many people have had problems getting their timing correct because the outer ring on the damper has moved.
Not just a Y-Block problem either. I once had a Turbo Corvair engine in a VW sedan (way back in my crazy youth). We couldn't get it timed and once we did could line up the marks a second time. Turned out automatic cars that is rubber mounted dampers and solid for manual. I was running a 4 speed with a 5 1/2 lb. flywheel. Revved real quick, but you can imagine what was going on with the damper.
