The physics of tire size
175/70 or 185/70 either of these are what i see stock on soobs all the time, generally 175's on fwd and 185 on 4wd. i would go with the 185 for a lot of highway driving

What if there are no timming belt covers...what to center cam gears with?
yes, you line up the dot with the valve cover gasket seam. this example is used in the timing belt article here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2648 have fun with the missing belt covers it really will make any work much easier!

timing belt, roll on and off.
maybe the motor was missing the timing belt cover around the crank pulley. unless the cover was loosened and the belts wedged in between the space pryed apart between before the crank pulley. whenever i service a motor or do my own, i take the covers off completely. that way if i break a belt off the side of the road, or need to change a sela later, it saves me all that work

repair pages?
correct, the distributor will install woth the o deg mark. but this is only necessary if the disty has been removed. but also you can tear the motor down to the head gaskets and the disty can remain in the cam tower so this is only necessary when the disty itself has been removed from the cam tower. so if the disty has been removed, follow all the timing belt rotation, and back to the 3 marks, one full cycle. from there turn until the o deg mark appears and install the disty so the rotor points to #1 when the motor is at o deg tdc, the dot on the passenger side(usa) will point to the sharp corner on the valve cover, just below the word SUBARU

look under the dash. the fuel pump is cycling on and off because the green test connectors are plugged in. these green connectors should be un-plugged for normal operation try hotwiring the coil + terminal to the battery. the ign will come on wether the key is on or off doing this. this will supply yhe coil directly, see if she will fire by doing this
