OP is conflating the belt and the harmonic damper. In his mind they're one and the same. From now on, if he types "belt", think "damper & pully"
OP. Serp belt goes around a pully. Pully bolts to harmonic damper. Damper has a groove. Timing marker has 1 deep notch that denotes 0°. Line up the groove with the notch with the timing light as described above.

The fact that you picked up on this made my day more than me miraculously finishing the truck yesterday. Yes, to me I just thought they were connected...the same thing. So, Although I would like to share a photo of the mysterious "belt" I'm afraid I will have to direct everyone to the comment quoted above.
I did everything mentioned above and I think the truck may sound smoother than it did a couple weeks ago before it stalled on the road. I'm so excited that I could fix this and I know I couldn't have done it without everyones help. I'm a hands on learner. As I was doing all that I was told it made sense. It was all very straight forward but until I was out there doing everything myself I was confused and it didn't make sense.
There was one other thing I wanted to mention. I think there was some confusion about me not being able to get a distributor cap and only being able to get the entire set up. I think I remember a comment about people thinking that was odd. For Kauai this is common place. If the store doesn't have it, you don't drive down the road to get it somewhere else. To make matters worse, our island has been closed off to the rest of the US since April. That makes things trickier as well.
Regardless, Mahalo to all
