To reset the timing, turn the engine to top dead center. Make sure the rotor is pointing at the number 1 tower on the distributor cap. Use a dial indicator (or pencil) through the spark plug hole to verify the timing mark on the crank pulley is good and the key is not broken or missing.

Mark the position of the distributor pulley.

Back the crank about 90 degrees so none of the pistons are at the top of their stroke to prevent any of the valves from coming in contact with the pistons. Loosen the timing belt and remove from the cam pulleys. Verify the intake pulley is marked Int 110 and the exhaust is marked Ex 110. Line up the timing marks on the cam pulleys. Move the #1 piston to TDC and re-install the belt. Check the timing and distributor pulley marks again after the belt is tightened.

Do a compression check.
