NEED HELP FAST !!!

[Fester's Quest]

Hey everybody, i'm fixing my timing belt in a mcdonalds parking lot. I searched the forum but i couldn't find anything about how to set the timing for a b3 festiva. What do the marks on the crank and cam pulley look like and where do i set them ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you !!!

The top pulley has 2 marks. Put one at 12 oclock, the other at 3 oclock
The bottom pulley "notch" goes 12 o'clock. Install timing belt. Drive home.

Good luck.

PS. Be sure to keep the belt tight on the right side, opposite the tensioner when installing

There are the 2 marks on the upper pulley at 12 and 3 as said. There are 2 corresponding " arrow head" shaped triangles cast on the head behind the pulley to line up the 2 pulley marks with.

It's still in a parking lot 60 miles away, lol, but i know what i did wrong now.

On the crank pulley, the mark for top dead center is right inbetween the notch in the crank pulley isn't it ? I kept trying to line it up to this stamped image that i thought was an arrow

I think there is supposed to be a notch on the timing belt sprocket, I don't know if it lines up with the keyway on the crank or not. It goes in the 12 o' clock position.
