If you're referring to cam timing you don't. That's set when the belt is installed by matching up timing marks on the cam drive wheels and the crankshaft. If any of those marks is off even by a single notch in the belt the engine won't run correctly.
If you're referring to ignition timing, you still don't. That shouldn't have changed at all during a belt replacement.
The v6 Toyota solara has a timing belt. Their 4 cyl engines have timing chains.
The 3.0 liter V6 engine in a 2003 Toyota Solara has a timing BELT ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. )
Yes , the 3.3 liter V6 engine in a 2004 Toyota Solara has a timing BELT ( P.S. - it is NOT an interference engine )
Toyota recommends replacing the belt every 90,000 miles.
According to the Gates website : The 2001 Toyota Solara 2.2 liter 4 cylinder : Has a timing BELT, it is NOT an interference engine , change the belt at 90,000 miles

What would be the recommended miles to change out the timing belt on my 2001 Solara 4cyl. with 77,000 miles on it. Would 90K be a number close to factory recommendations?
The V6 has a cam timing belt. Check the maintenance schedule for the car and you'll find the belt is scheduled for replacement at 90,000 miles. BTW the 4-cylinder Solara has a timing chain, no maintenance needed.
Toyota Camry 97 has a timing belt that should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
Cost for the belt is typically $45 (give or take). If you search online you can frequently find them on sale. This site is currently (2/13/09) offering them for about $30: http://www.drivewire.com/products/toyota-solara/timing-belt/8135/ Cheers
