Crankshaft Damper223 1958 F100

[1958FordF100]

I need a new damper or mine rebuilt. I went by my machine shop today and they told me that they can't find one so I may need to have it rebuilt. Can you help me find a NOS damper or a company to rebuild mine.

I am also concerned as I can see no timing marks on the damper. Just one very light mark. I read somewhere you can find tape to add marks. Is this unusual to not find marks on the damper of a 223?

My 54 has a number of marks each of are 2 degrees both sides of the TDC mark to set timing using timing tab on engine. Tape works good it's also possible to add your own marks using a 6-inch machinist’s steel rule or at the locale machine shop. You only would need to convert the number of degrees to a fractional measurement.
