On top of the transmission bellhousing there is a green plug. Pull it out and you will see an 'arrow' that points to a notch in the flywheel. Thats your top dead center for #1 cyl.

Pocket screwdrivers are your friend when putting the tbelt back on.

Good luck.

I see how the belt only drives one cam, my question was why the ---- does it have both a timing belt and a timing chain?

Goddamn GM 3.4 liter DOHC failure design right there.

i think you need to look at the pic again it does have both a belt and a chain. belt gets turned by crank, then it turns the cam which turns the chain to turn the other cam. alot of cars have those now a days
