There is a hole in the sprocket that has to line up with a notch in the front bearing cap. This will be TDC. I just hope you had it on compression stroke when you took it off. Otherwise it'll be 180 degrees out of time and won't start. If that happens you can either remove it and rotate the crank and cam 180 degrees until you marks line up again or remove the distributor and rotate it 180 and re-install it.
50,000-60,000 miles. Whoever changes the timing belt, recommend buy the kit (not just the belt) and be careful to keep timing marks aligned.

how do you set timing on a 92 geo prizm if timing belt has broken
The 2001 prizm has a timing chain.
1994 Geo Prizm has a timing belt.
Prizm's had a timing belt up until 1998 when they then switched to a timing chain.
The '99 Chevy Prizm has a timing chain, not a timing belt, so it does not need to be replaced.
How do you replace the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm 1.6?
Replace every 60,000 miles.
it has a chain.
Replace the cam belt every 60,000 miles.
The Prizm has a timing CHAIN, not belt. The timing chain does not get replaced on a scheduled interval. It should never need to be replaced. The serpentine belt, however, does need to be replaced. Inspect the belt for cracks and glazing, and replace. It is not a difficult DIY job. It is easiest to do it from under the car, after removing the splash pan.
