460 timing help

Hey guys new to the forum here. I have a 73 f-350 pickup. The guy I bought the truck from swapped in a 460 motor. He said the motor came out of a thunderbird but I honestly do not know. I am trying to set the timing on it currently. I have usually always worked on Chevy’s. I set #1 at tdc but the groove in my harmonic balancer is way off. I notice a marked that is painted on the balancer and it is pretty close to where it should be but I would believe that I should go off of the groove. Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance.

The right front (passenger side) is number 1. There is the possibility that the damper has slipped. Don't trust it, replace it as it will slip again.
