Okay, I did some research on the timing belt, and I have some questions. 200 1983

Good point on the timing belt marks. It took me a while to figure out the belt marks would not line up again. I agree. I did the crank first. Then the intermediate shaft, then the cam. It's also good to get a spare set of hands when you're getting it all lined up. I think the only two things that were a bit problematic were: (1) getting the belt that goes on the crank pulley and a/c compressor off/on (I ended up cutting the old belt and bumping the motor to pop the new belt on); and (2) the process of finding top dead center, performing rope trick, and lining up marks on the shafts when installing the belt. I think people's biggest fear is getting the car out of time, but if you take your time and pay attention, it's not a hard job.
