My money is on the outer hub on the balancer has slipped around under the rubber dampener.
If you have confirmed where TDC is and it doesnt align with the pointer (pointer installed in correct position and not bent) then it will most likely be dampener.
I am not 100% sure with the ford engine but on most engines the keyway on the crank should be either right on top or bottom when at TDC.
Moveing the distributor will not change the static relationship between the crank/pulley and the pistons.
