Ok forget about the marks you made on the head. That is only if you only removed the distributor and its so you don't have to set the ignition timing. When you get your head back and bolt it back on, make sure the crank is dead even with the 0 degree mark and install the timing belt with the cam marks lined up (Im sure you know all of this, just making sure). Then when you put the distributor in, before you put it in look at the shaft right next to the gear on the distributor. You'll see a drilled mark, don't confuse it with the pin. It's a drilled hole about 1/8" deep. Now look at the housing right before the O-ring. You see that groove? Line up the drilled mark with the groove and install the distributor by aligning the center of the eccentric hole with the bolt hole for the distributor hold down bolt. Look on page IG-20 in the TSRM if you need a visual. Then proceed to set the BASE ignition timing by bridging terminals E1 and T with the engine at full operating temp.
