Followup...
Have spoken with Mazda Mechanic at dealer (yes believe it) and it is true as I thought that the two dimples on the pully are a fix for a timing mark that cannot be seen unless the engine is out of the car.
Just center them up with the two marks that are on the valve cover.
I also found out that if you install the tensionor with only the upper bolt snugged down and leave out the lower bolt there is no need to set the crankshaft one tooth off and it is far easier to install the belt.
Also, as is typical, there are several errors in Haynes, Chilton, and the Mitchell manuals regarding the proper parts removal order. I wrote my own as I went. I often wonder who the idiots are that write these manuals. It makes me think they change thier oil with a credit card.
I also found out that using a shop towel to hold the belt in place as you wind the belt into position is how the pros do it.
Piece of cake...;>
Now if I can just get the damn thing to get 40 mpg like my 18 year old 323 does and I am set. (in my dreams)
