I only use the timing marks as a reference.

I time my motor untill it starts to ping, and then use the damper to back it off a few degrees from the pinging threshold. Don't know if this is a good method in general, but I prefer it and have really good luck with it.

There are two common types of FE dampers: the one with the 0.75" wide iron float ring (with belt groove in it, but frequently covered up by the bolt-on stamped pulleys), and the 1.10" wide type with no groove. The narrow type is common on 67-earlier motors, the other '68-later. Note that the crank pulley bolt pattern is different between the two so you can't mix early crank pulleys with the late ones.

Hey, if you finally learn a solution to your overheating, please post it.
