While working on "Grasshopper" to alleviate a stall at braking condition I did the following.

Repaired broken insulator on distributor
(had to Replace tapered pin on distributor after disassembly)
Repaired cracked vacuum at vacuum advance at ECU
Cleaned Idle Control
Cleaned flame trap and orifice to Intake manifold
New rotor and cap
Changed spark plugs (were great color gap very large ~.040 vs .030)

THEN I peaked at the timing belt - looked dry and cracked (last changed 114,000 miles ago)

Changed timing belt ... quickly started, runs a bit rough ... OK, need to adjust distributor timing....

Then I went to reattach Crank pulley and there is no guide pin! But I don't recall ever having this problem the other two times I changed a timing belt.
There is a nub of a key that catches the washer/rim on the front side of the timing belt, but nothing to set the crank pulley.

WHAT am I missing here? (Please don't answer guide pin! LOL)
