Just got off the phone with PRW.........the Rep told me that the older Dampers are exactly 1/2" too long Just like Tracy's aka "Fishy68"
He also verified that the new style that I got is right at a 1/4 " too short.
They are manufacturing a NEW Damper that has the correct SNOUT length and the Damper itself will be made a bit thinner to eleviate ALL the problems within 45 days. It should be available and on the market within that time he says...........For the guys that bought the older style like Tracy you will need to have the snout shaved about .225 or so and make adjustments for pulley alignment. The guys that bought the so called newer style like me will need to either make a Crank Spacer about 1/4" thick so you dont have to file the timing marks off the cover like I did or he said you can call HUGHES ENGINES and they have a 1/4" Crank Spacer ready for shipping that will fix the problem............I wish the guy would have said that when I bought mine!!!
