| Your damper would be the rear-most crankpulley. |

Look closer at the crank pulleys.
It's possible, if you have multiple grooves on your crankpulley that the actual damper is underneath the stamped-steel pulleys.
I believe the stock damper for your motor was a single-grooved cast iron ring (.75" wide, front to back) with a belt groove in it. Not very massive, but it did the job on the street, and it was more massive than the original FE damper. If your car has no options, this might be the pulley which was used. If it has a higher output generator or alternator, AC, PS, or any other options, this damper would sometimes get cast pulleys bolted to it's front and other times get covered up by optional steel crank pulleys.
If in doubt, remove the three bolts which hold the crank pulley in place and see what's underneath. Note the optional steel pulley (if you have one) is keyed (for timing). Be sure to reinstall it so the tab mates properly to the crank.
