Sorry I skipped your question about checking the timing belt by looking at the rotor in the dizzy. Yes you can do that, but even more easily, the same observation can be done through the oil filler hole by noting the cam lobe position before and after blipping the starter.

Not an issue for you, since running with starter fluid proved you have compression, therefore cam timing, and the rings probably haven't been washed free of oil by leaking injectors.
