How can I tell if I am a tooth off on the timing WITHOUT taking it all apart again?

I just finished my nightmare timing belt/front seal job, only to have the car run more anemic than it did before. I think I may have the crank a tooth off, or something a tooth off, but the reason I put it back together was it started right up and ran normal at idle, it even revved up normal with the pedal just sitting there, but after driving it,it seems even more down on power than normal, and I am sure all of the vacuum lines and everything are in place. Is there anyway to know for sure without pulling it all apart, like checking it witha timing light, or will I have to pull it apartagain. It is a 1987 245.
