First of all, it's a timing chain, not belt (it's not a Honda). Second, if your chain broke, chances are that the cams/crank position will be very off. If you just slapped on a new chain without positioning the cam gears and crankshaft correctly, it won't start - and if you keep trying you could damage more parts.

Basically - for both chains, there's a "mating mark" on the sprockets that should match up with the mating marks on the respective chain itself (one of the chain parts is a different color). You'll also have to have the engine set at TDC. The distributor would be reinstalled with the rotor facing the #1 spark plug output... there's more to it than just this, but basically that's how you'd make sure everything is back in position correctly. I recommend checking it out yourself in an FSM - I'm looking at the procedure as I type this, and mechanically it's not difficult; just a matter of getting the sprockets and the chains positioned properly
