Neale, et al,

There is also a history of the crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer)
woodruff key shearing.  This can be due to insufficient torque on the crank
bolt.  Some people suggest it could also be caused by >not< using the
special crank locking tool... torquing the crank bolt could force some
slippage of the harmonic balancer with damage to the key.  The special tool
actually locks the harmonic balancer whereas many of the alternate methods
lock other engine components such as the flywheel.

Scott Mockry has a great write-up including excellent photos on setting the
timing marks for this motor posted at...

In addition to the marks on the cam pulley and flywheel there is also a mark
on the distributor yo might want to check.
