Crank no start - engine newly installed after 10 years of sitting 200 1990

Ok - I got to confirm the timing belt position (after spraying in starting fluid to no avail).

The camshaft timing mark is off by a half tooth when I line up the crankshaft pulley mark with the protrusion on the lower timing belt cover.

BUT the rotor is off about 135 degrees. And one cam lobe points diagonally up while the next one points directly sideways.

So it seems I have something wrong (unless I need to turn the crankshaft one more time to see if it lines up on the next revolution??

I haven't retensioned the tensioner since I put the belt on originally... so maybe I should do that to see if the camshaft mark gets back in line by a half tooth.

Also the timing belt slipped forward (towards the radiator) by about a third of an inch causing it to over hang the sprockets .... so I pushed it back by hand. But I'm worried something is not right there and it may keep pushing forward and rub on the cover. If I can get it started and running.

What do you think?

If I can figure out how to post pictures I could send pics of the pulleys and timing marks and rotor.
