MG MGA - MGA pulley to MGB crank damper

Hello again, I home that I'm not getting to be a pest. I've just semu-retired and have time to catch up on my cars.
I bent the crank pulley on my 1500 reinstalling the engine last time, about 20 years ago. I got it straightened out but it is not perfect. I am learning that a crankshaft damper is important to the A series 3 main engine. Will the MGB damper work or help the rebuild I'm working on?

I installed an MGB pulley along with the same MGB timing cover.

Result was that I now have a front oil seal that actually seals and supposidly a balanced crank. Didn't notice any benefit with the crank pulley only the front seal in the timing cover.
