People with Fluidamper "Streetdampr" inside...
After installing my Streetdampr harmonic balancer, I noticed the timing marker is way off from where it was on the stock balancer. The old timing marker was at the 1 o'clock position (best way of describing it) relative to the front of the balancer. I suppose my new balancer needs a timing marker in a different position. Does anyone know what position it goes in and where i could get a sufficient new timing marker.

Sounds like your timing tab is from one of the mark location systems, but the mark on the balancer is set up for one of the other versions.
Best thing to do would be to find #1 TDC by sticking something in the spark plug hole and watching as the piston hits it while turning the motor by hand; and making your own mark on the damper with white paint or something.
