I've never done one on a Ranger, but most timing gears have alignment marks that you line up before you install the belt. Don't forget to replace the belt tensioner while you're at it.
If the belt broke then the head will have to come off because the valves will be bent. Talk to the re-conditioner shop and they will explain where the marks are and how to do the job.
Set the crank to TDC using the timing marks, Then look for an arrow or a mark on the cam shaft pully and another mark on the block. Line those up. Put the belt on, make sure the marks did not move.

NOTE: No Markings on the Crankshaft Sprocket, it is deferred to the Oil Pump!
