89 929 3.0L SOHC

I replaced the timing belt on the car. Since it had jumped, I wasn't too
sure of the timing marks. I do have the shop manual for the car, the small
form factor official Mazda book. The pictures for the timing mark on the
crank were vague. I ended up using the gear tooth that lines up with the
locator pin on the crank. This locator pin is the one the baffle plate, fan
belt drive pulley and the harmonic balancer use to line up. I lined up the
tooth with the mark on the block. The cam shafts I lined up per the manual,
hard to see, but I think I got it right. Did I???

The engine runs well now and started right up after having sat for the
winter. After fully warming up I attemped to adjust the spark timing, ooops,
as I am typing this, I just remembered, I forgot to short out the green
connector to set the timing. I was having trouble setting the spark timing,
had to turn the distributor all the way counter-clockwise to get the marks
to line up. Now, my original question was could the timing be off due to the
old valve timing belt having skipped, BUT, my new question is will
forgetting to connect the green connector throw off the spark timing check
by a few degrees? Guess I'll have to redo this tomorrow.

Thanks for any advice.
