Default civic won't start after timing belt change-HELP!

Well just when I thought I'd did good, I must have messed up. I(a backyard
looser mechanic) replaced my timing belt and water pump on my 91 Civic Hatch
1500cc. After a successful ordeal getting the crankshaft pulley bolt off, I
thought I had made it. Well I must have messed up when I put the T-belt on.
The cam sprocket did move a tiny bit, so I moved it back to the side marks
and the up, straight up. Thought every thing was AOK. Put everything back
and it won't start up.

Went back and took just the top timing belt cover off and when the rotor
cap is pointed to the number one, the cam sprocket shows straight up and
side marks where they are supposed to be. What am I missing?

How can I tell if I'm off a tooth and would just being off one cause it not
to start at all?

thanks in advance

Gary now stranded.......
