New Timing Belt won't go on

Guys,
This time I went out with one of those high intensity work lights and had it shining brightly pointed on the crank. Found the tiniest of a divot on the outside tooth in the valley. No other place on the crank had such a dinky mark. Adjusted my cam sprockets to line up with the mark on the timing cover. Installed belt, checked cam marks, pulled the pin on the tensioner and rotated the engine twice and no interference.
Think I am all good. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed.

Yes I am very happy.
Went and also got my new IPD Stainless exhaust system installed. Just need to install the O2 sensors and the xross brace and then snug it all down.
Big problem left is removing the axle nuts so I can swap out my axles. Won't budge. Been soaking daily with liquid wrench, etc. Tomorrow I will apply heat and see what happens.

I use a 4 foot plumbing pipe that I purchased. don't remember the cost but whatever it was, it was worth it. Just make sure it fits over your breaker bar. I tried a 3 foot bar but after about a year of fighting with things I got the 4 foot one and it made a big difference.
Some of those axle nuts don't have the tab but I did notice that on the last axle I looked at.

ibified,
I have the same looking nuts that is shown in Roberts video. He didn't lift any tab. In the past when I see a nut like this I usually see a cotter pin too. Nope not here.
Robert,
Saw the same thing with a 5' pipe on Matthews site. Yep, my trusty 2' iron pipe that I slip over my 1/2 drive finally failed me. Guess might have to go to Home Depot and buy myself a 5' section of pipe.
Too bad I didn't look this step up at the very beginning. Car is already elevated and not really wanting to drop to the ground. Might have to. See what happens.
Was going to heat the nut tonight and try that. I do have my neighbors 3/4 drive.
