I doubt the someone will know the number of belt teeth between one cam to the next(although I have been wrong more than once). That is not the way the cams are set. All I can suggest is that you clean up the pulley, find the timing mark and remark it with some white paint or something alike. If you can't find the timing mark then possibly the best alternative is to buy a new or a good second hand pulley and fit the new part.
I do hope you started this entire process correctly, engine at Top Dead Center compression stroke on number 1 cylinder. As Mark above points out, some serious damage can occur if this is not done correctly. I have seen valves smash through pistons in your model engine, when a bush mechanic attempted to do a timing bet replacement wrongly. Wind the engine over(2 full turns) by hand before you even think of reconnecting the battery.
SOURCE: timing mark for timing belt
Best to go into a Mitsi dealer and take a photocopy of the timing belt replacement instructions. I would be very concerned that there may be internal engine damage if the cambelt has broken, such as bent valves or piston damage. It's highly unlikely that the cam will stop in the right position with all the valves almost closed when the belt breaks, but I have heard of it from time to time.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

The timing marks should be available in a Chilton or Haynes manual for that year that you can view or jot down a diagram or buy at one of the local discount auto parts store or Public Library.

Hello... This is a very involved procedure... To complex to list it here. If you go to www.autozone.com they list the procedure with diagrams.
Good Luck...
