OK, basic timing is: Cam set so both #1 cyl valves closed (i.e., firing stroke). Distributor rotor pointing at #1 wire on the cap. Crank set so #1 piston is at TDC. Note alignment marks on the gears. Install belt.

Your brakes may be 'screwed up' because they relay on manifold vacuum for power assist. A mis-timed timing belt plays hob with valve timing which diminishes manifold vacuum. Get the belt right, your brakes should be fine.
