Default CVH Timing. Valves and Ignition.

Hi, New to this but i have a poorly CVH.

I have a feeling the timing belt or distubuter has sliped a little, as it has suddenly stopped running.
- Its not a fueling issue as far as i know, and the spark is good on all four.
- I have the Haynes Ford CVH book from a freind, and am trying to use that.

Fortunatly the engine has a fair bit of space round it, so i have removed the alternator pulley and can line up the crankshaft pulley/keyway to be at TDC (cylinder one?). However it doesnt have the stock camshaft (top) pulley and i so i dont know where that should be, to check if the timing belt has slipped. (it doesnt show any signs of wear, but is looser than i would expect).

Secondly im stuggling to follow detangle the instuctions on fitting (checking) the distributor and rotor possition. Which i beleive is another thing that could have sliped. The engine will just about fire, but wont really keep runing, no power, etc. So sounds to me just like timing has slipped?
- Presumably it should very crudely line up with cylinder one? When at 'TDC'.

This is a photo of the Timing belt and top pulley.


And the dissy rotor.
