Hi and thanks for your reply to my question re: ?timing marks? (not firing order) Problem is the diagrams that were sent are for a SOHC for a 4 Cylinder not a Quad Cam (DOHC) 6 Cylinder. I can see the marks on the Cams (top of motor) but I'm not sure how to a line the bottom mark on the crankshaft. I know I can just line up the top marks and just make sure not to move any but to make sure I would prefer to match them all up to be sure while replacing the timing belt. Also are the OEM belt kits any good?....Are Dayco or Gates reputable or stick to ? Should I also replace the hydraulic tensioner while replacing the idlers and pulley tensioner? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Take the Crankshaft Pulley off in order for you to see the Markings ON the Crankshaft Sprocket (usually a machine pressed dot or line). And you should be able to see the Marking On the Engine right behind this.
Based on your year (1994): I would replace whatever you want to replace now, especially with everything apart. Think....everything back together and it (they) go out! Now you have to take everyhting back together.
Regarding the OEM vs Dayco vs Gates. OEM is better but more expensive, Dayco & Gates not as good but less expensive...just my opinion. How much longer will you have with this car??
Cheers!

Just wondering if you have a breakdown diagram for a 1992 dodge colt 1.5l distributer
I do not have a breakdown diagram for a distributor, but just the firing orders and description of ignition system for the Dodge Colt and related models (based on Chilton manuals) if that's what you're looking for: FIRING ORDERS Fig. 1: 1990 1.8L SOHC Engines Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Rotation: clockwise 84182009.gif

Fig. 2: 1.6L DOHC Engine Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Distributorless Ignition 84182010.gif

Fig. 3: 2.0L Engine Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Rotation: clockwise 84182011.gif

Fig. 4: 1.5L Engine Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Rotation: counterclockwise 84182012.gif

Fig. 5: 1993 1.8L Engine Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Rotation: counterclockwise 84182013.gif

Fig. 6: 2.4L Engine Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Rotation: clockwise 84182014.gif

To avoid confusion, replace spark plug wires one at a time. --- Distributor REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Although the distributor can be removed from the engine no matter which cylinder is about to fire, it is a good idea to have number one cylinder at TDC before distributor removal. 1.5L, 1.8L, 2.4L SOHC Engines
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect and tag the spark plug wires from the distributor cap.
  3. Disconnect the distributor harness connector.

    Fig. 2: Ignition system for the 1.5L engine 84183002.gif

    Fig. 4: Ignition system for the 2.4L engine 84183004.gif

  4. Loosen the distributor retaining bolt and remove the distributor from the engine. To install:
  5. Rotate the engine until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on its compression stroke. NOTE: Be careful not to turn it to the No. 4 cylinder TDC on its compression stroke by mistake.
  6. Align the distributor housing and gear mating marks.

    Fig. 7: Distributor installation for the 1992-93 1.8L engine 84183007.gif

  7. Install the distributor into the engine, while aligning the fine cut (groove or projection) on the distributor flange with the center of the distributor mounting stud.
  8. Install and tighten the distributor retaining bolt.
  9. Reconnect the distributor harness connector.
    Fig. 8: Distributor installation for the 2.4L engine 84183008.gif

  10. Install the distributor cap and spark plug wires.
  11. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
