Please help..

Answer
Heres what you do.  Start by making sure that #1 cylinder is at TDC, then pop the distributer cap off and rotate the intermediate shaft until the rotor points to #1 plug wire, then rotate the cam until both #1 cylinder valves are shut, just make sure your not a 180 degrees out, if the exhaust valve is the next valve to open then you got it right.  Pop on the belt set the timing prperly with a light and your done.  It is very hard to explain on here where to align the marks on the pulleys, you could do it that way if you had a manuel.
