Yes.
For whatever reason, when Ford made the Y-block engines the timing gear marks and installation procedure are
not related to the position of the piston in cyl #1.
If the crank & cam shaft keyways, dots on the crank & cam gears and the pin count on the timing chain matches the diagrams, it is correct.
Make sure you have the correct style timing pointer and locate the timing marks on the rear lip of the crank pulley.
If the damper ring is close to slipping off the shoulder of the pulley hub (photo 2) the pulley needs to be rebuilt (photo 3).
