Are you saying that, with intermediate sprocket mark lined up, the rotor is NOT aligned with the notch in the distributor body?

If so, maybe the previous belt-replacer goofed and got the intermediate sprocket off a tooth or two and "recovered" by repositioning the distributor. If so, you can correct it the same way...

With belt on, Crank and Cam at 0° tcd, reposition the distributor so the rotor points at the notch. Then hand crank it thru 1 rev to verify that all 3 (C&C + Dist) are still aligned at 0°tdc. If so, it should work, IMO.
