I bought a new balancer for my '81 and want to make sure it's the correct one before I paint it. part number is 12551537 and the timing mark is 10 degrees before the keyway.

Thanks

Just replaced mine and it looks like the same one. I don't have the box anymore but mine was also a Delco. Its a generic balancer for SBC.
Make sure you have or get a High Quality install tool to put the new one on. And use a new Key. They fit very tight.
I used a China made install tool from Summit and the end broke off in the crank using a 1/2 ratchet. Was able to get it out and Summit replaced the tool with a Moroso and discounted the diff in cost.

Thanks for the info.

I have a Snap-On/Blue Point installer that hasn't failed me yet, so hopefully it would this time. lol
