If a 1996 Isuzu Oasis 22 does not have fire to the plugs after changing the timing belt, perhaps a spark plug wire got crossed when hooking up the spark plug wires. Check the coil to make sure the right firing order is being used. Check to make sure the distributor did not accidentally get turned when changing the distributor cap. Also, check the wires to the distributor.

You don't. It has no distributor. The only thing to make sure of is that the timing chain is installed correctly....(if you've removed it) and that the plug wires are routed correctly. If it's running poorly you'll have to look at other reasons besides the timing.
if you're looking down at the distributor it rotates clockwise while running.
I'm not sure I understand your question. The ignition module is suspect in this case and yes, it's under the distributor cap. You may also want to replace the distributor cap and rotor while your at it, they're cheap parts and hair-line cracks in a distributor cap can be hard to detect. If all of these fail I'd look at replacing the coil and coil wire to the distributor.
0.19 for brand-new points 0.16 gap for used points. The above answer may be adequate to get the engine running, but points are set correctly when you have a reading of 30 degrees on a dwell meter.
It is inside the distributor, it has three wires running to it, and it looks like a small black plateIt is inside the distributor, it has three wires running to it, and it looks like a small black plate
