Crank pulley/damper installation
I’ve got a 1964 292. I was manually turning the engine over, using the crank bolt, and noticed that the bolt started spinning but the pulley was not. I found the previous owner had used two thin fender washers that seemed to have “smooshed” while turning it over. I made my own thick washer to replace the original missing one.
Here’s my current issue.
While attempting to torque down the main pulley bolt, I was waiting for the pulley to bottom out on the shaft. I then noticed that the pulley is now pulled onto the shaft further, and misaligned with the other pulleys. The washer i made has not bottomed out yet.
I do not notice any missing components. Is there a sleeve/spacer that’s supposed to be there to stop the pulley from going on too far? My shop manual shows nothing.
I have not removed the pulley at this time as I’m away from home, but some ideas may be nice. Not too familiar with the Y bocks yet.
thanks

As far as I remember crank pulley pulls up tight on the timing sprocket, that bottoms out on the crank. Which would mean you Can't go to far....
Unless the PO spaced the other accessories out to match the crank pulley...
I have found washers behind water pump pulleys... Never a good thing.

Here is a thread to read thru. 1962 Crank Pulley parts question - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)
Or you can get a new one. More Information for DAYCO PB1199N (rockauto.com)
A word of caution do not use the crank bolt to install a damper you risk striping the threads out of the crank snout. Borrow an installer from AutoZone or O'reilly's.

Does the oil slinger act as a spacer? By the time the pulley’s bolt and washer meets the V end of the crank shaft, the pulleys are misaligned by about an inch. No other pulleys have been shimmed.
the pulley/damper assembly is a single groove btw. It is all one piece.

I did verify the marking match the TDC with #1 on the compression stroke. I have a feeling the next thing to do is pull off the timing cover to see what should or shouldn’t be.

I wouldn't pull the timing cover yet.
What I would do is take the distributor cap off and spin the engine with the starter. if the rotor is turning then your timing chain is OK for now. If it doesn't turn, then lord knows Greaser might be right.
The balancers never go all the way flush with the crank snout they should clamp 1/16 to 1/8 inch before the washer contacts the end of the crank.
I'm no "y" block expert but from reading old posts over the years there seems to be a bunch of different dampers for "y" blocks could be someone put the wrong one on your engine.
