OK, I went and pulled out every balancer that I have, only one is a pre-69. As close as I can check with a good straight edge, the timing mark is exactly in line with the keyway.
Sorry, I'm not going to pull off the hi-po finned balancer that's on the 56!

JohnZ,
Not to question you sir, but.....I was out on the GM parts site http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/restora...tocategory.cfm and came across this. I bolded the info you have questioned.
Is there ANY chance you could possibly be wrong or is GM ?
Thanks for your patience with me on this......
