Also should I put back the distributor to where it was prior to adjusting It during the troubleshooting phase ?
Sounds like the belt was reused once already when the water pump was done, cheap insurance replace both along with plugs and at minimum clean the cap n rotor.What is the theory/logic/reasoning behind replacing timing belt such as I'm going through as opposed to readjusting the current belt/timing???? Curious....
Y e s I used the same belt when I changed out the water pump and the plugs are 3 years old with 12,000 miles on them but I'm changing them out now.Sounds like the belt was reused once already when the water pump was done, cheap insurance replace both along with plugs and at minimum clean the cap n rotor.

The least amount of slack on the left side of the belt I can it to is about 1/4" deflection.View attachment 29685
- Put cam and crank at TDC1.
- Install left section of timing belt first without any slack.
The distributor will not allow me to adjust it further than it is which is about midway between tdc and the next timing markAdjust the ignition timing, if the mechanical timing is correct.
I will tomorrow....I'm done tonight...Recheck the mechanical timing. It’s likely off by a tooth.
You said it was possibly off by 1 tooth. The crank or cam?Recheck the mechanical timing. It’s likely off by a tooth.
Can you provide pics with the marks lined up?
