I have a 396 stroker, and Iam getting ready to put the harmonic balancer on. Where do I line up the timing mark on the balancer corresponding to the crankshaft?

The mark on an engine from the factory points to 12 o'clock when #1 or #6 piston is at TDC. Bolt the damper to the hub, then mark the hub where the arrow on the damper points straight up. That will give you a reference when putting the hub on. That is if the hub isn't on already.
