Good morning,

I attached the timing marks for the engine for you.

You need the timing chain that has the colored links for installation so you do not install the chain incorrectly and bend some valves.

I attached a YouTube video of installing the chain and setting up the cam timing for you.

this has a timing chain not a belt are you sure you just do not want the fan belt? picture shows belt diagram. no size is given. also, tension-er should be replaced. if you want timing chain install then it is too much for us to copy and paste you can rent the manual for a week for your car here on site.
