Changed Timing Belt and Now Have Trouble?

I have a Ford Ranger 88, 2.3 L engine, manual tranny...it's a no-interference engine, which means there shouldn't be any damage resulting from timing belt breaking. It broke and I've replaced it....just wanted to see if it would start up before putting everything back in (water pump,radiator,alternator)...but it doesn't even turn over. I've set everything dead-on....my friend said to start I have to turn distributor cap differently than my manual recommends for timing....scared to try because I don't want to damage anything....but it does nothing, no spark, nothing. I switched out battery with a charged one and set up cables to another vehicle to start, in case it wasn't getting enough power w/o alternator. Any ideas? Everything else seems like before....Does anyone know also if theres a certain setting for the auxillary shaft sprocket?
