You should be fine, but why won't it start?  Did you align everything 
when you put the new belt in? Basically, the crank needs to be at TDC, 
(the mark on the flywheel lined up with the pointer) the cam needs to be 
set so the "dot" on the inside lip of cam sprocket is lined up with the 
front top edge of the cylinder head (NOT valve cover), and finally, the 
intermediate shaft needs to be turned so that the rotor points to the #1 
cylinder (or where the #1 plug wire on the distributor cap attaches). 
With all these lined up, the car should start up and idle well enough 
for you to set the timing with a timing light. 

If you did all the things above, then please describe your problem in 
finer detail. That way we can narrow down the problem.
