[Pineapple]

Tell him he won't get spark until he put the timing belt back on and get the disturbutor turning. No timing belt -> no turning cam -> no turning disy -> no RPM signal -> no spark.
Also ask him how he test for spark. Did he crank the engine without timing belt? To see if he really know anything, ask him if cranking without time blet will cause the piston to hit the open valves. Unless you're there to watch him change the timing belt, I won't trust him not try to do more damage.
