OK folks I'm on a roll, but I'm stuck too. I'm having difficulty keeping the
ring gear from moving so I can remove the crank pulley and get the old
timing belt completely off. I was thinking, am I turning the correct
direction to remove this bolt? Looking at the diagram in the Haynes manual
it looks like I should be turning clockwise (to the right) the book doesn't
put this into words so maybe some help here!!!??

I believe there may be four wires attatched to the coil, but they share
connectors. Truthfully it is a regular coil in function and electrical
connections (a plus and minus terminal) but getting to it is another thing.
Before taking everything apart, verify that the distributor still turns at
all. Stripped timing belts are common on OHC engines. Take the cap off and
crank the engine making sure the rotor is spinning.
