There ya go, nothin' to it. A bit of common sense goes a long ways!!!!

That works too ....but don't forget that the damper is two piece and you can break the rubber elastomer seal, especially on a 32 year old engine - then you wonder why the timing is so far off Oh yeah, another 460 PITA - the dist can 'freeze" in place, then you have another problem
