Lacking my assistant to crank the engine as I shine the light into the oil filler hole, I proceeded directly to step 2. Skirted some starting fluid into the manifold, tried to start. The engine caught and ran for 1-2 sec.

This rules out the timing belt, doesn't it? Besides, I did see the spark clearly using one of these https://www.harborfreight.com/in-line-spark-checker-63590.html.

If you still think I should double-check the timing belt, does the distributor on this engine run off the timing belt? Can take the cap off and crank it and see of the rotor moved?
