With all of your covers off and the two (2) overhead sprockets exposed, make sure that your belt is facing the correct way , there are arrows on the belt and they should be facing away from the engine, then the timing marks will be in the right position. match the timimg belt marks to the timing marks on the overhead cam sprokets (note: put white out on the sprocket marks to make them more visable.) then loosen the tensioner which is to the left of the crank spocket, use an Allen wrench to swival the tensioner cam to allow more slack of the belt as you slip it over the crank sproket, make sure the marks match up. It may take a few tries turning the crank sprocket not all of the srockets. when tightining the belt tensioner make sure the Allen wrench hole is at 5:20 clock position and tighten the tensioner nut to secure the tensioner. That should be all that you need to do. before you put all of the covers back on start the car and turn off. If ithe car did not sound as if it got spark and did not start then A: your belt is not in line with the timing marks, even with only one mark off it will not start, check your marks lineup again. Make sure the ARROWS on the belt are pointing out towards the fender. if all is as it should be then replace your covers and your done. Good Luck.
