Sure it didnt slip ,
I've seen a Street Hemi balancer slip about the same as the one above, about 50*.

Mopar, in all of it's infinite wisdom made two different balancers and timing covers for both the wedges and Street Hemi motors. The early ones, I belive 1967 or 1966 and below used a timing cover with a straight timing tab on them and balancers marked to match that cover(the zero mark is up high almost at the top of the timing tab) The later ones use a curve timing tab on the timing cover that has the zero mark about halfway down the tab and the matching balancer Why would they do that, Goverment intervention, for smog emmision reasons
The ones that I find off 10 degrees is the one with the straight tab.0- at the top of the tab.The curved tabs are real close to TDC.
