if timing was off a little, it should still have at least sputtered or something. Start with fuses. Find out what exactly happened as far as if engine just quit, or everything stop working like guages, radio, etc.

Please turn off the caps lock function on your keyboard.

Recheck the cylinder compressions after you correctly set the mechanical timing. If any cylinders are still low, one or more valves were likely bent when the timing belt slipped.
