Default 00 caravan camshaft sprocket timing marks?

the camshaft sprockets have a triangle on one side and on the opposite there is 012. Which do i need to have pointing to the timing marks? I have the triangles on both camshaft sprockets lined up and am getting no fire.

4 cyl? or 3.0? When you say fire do you mean spark? Whether its in time or not you should have spark.

It's a 3.0. yes i mean no spark at the plugs. i even put new ignition wires on, coil pack, and crank sensor. The employee at AutoZone said to check the distributor cap for cracks. There were no cracks present on the cap though.

Still think you should have spark even if its out of time. Here are the timing marks anyways.

That's what everyone has told me is that it should still have spark at the plugs even if the timing is a little off. I have viewing of that diagram on my military website i can view Chilton manuals. I just wondered if anyone knew whether the triangle or 012 on the camshaft sprockets should be set on the timing marks. I've set the triangles on the sprockets but i did not have any spark at the plugs.

There should be a notch on the very outside of the pulley where the belt teeth are. Can you give a picture of your pulley?
