Hi shirlpjones! Head down to your local libray where they will likely shelve the Chilton's manual for your Tercel. That will have the procedure for setting the timing, which yes, is most likely off. Good luck!

cylinder #1 is nearest one to you on the timing belt side if its a 4cylinder, on mine is 1342 but is easier to match my coils sit on top of cylinders 3 and four, 4 is short wire to #2 and long wire is from #3 to #1, also oriellys can print out a how to change out timing belt with how to set your camshaft pulley to tdc and crankshaft pully to match on the mark to line up with top pully (camshaft/valve) there are two marks on each pully and caseing so make sure you have the right marks for your engine,
