I just used that exact balancer on a 445W build up and didn't have any problems.
Here's what I would advise:
Do you have a degree wheel? I would find true TDC with a degree wheel and a piston stop. Then you'll know exactly where TDC is and you can put your pointer in the right spot. Something else is up....and you need to verify that your TDC is correct and then you can put your pointer in the right spot. I bought an adjustable pointer, that way I could put it anywhere in the 10-11:00 positions.
Also, another tip for quick starting.....when you verify TDC and get your pointer lined out, put your pointer at about 20 degrees BTDC (make sure #1 is on compression stroke). Then stab your distributor in and point the rotor at the #1 plug wire.
