ok so i was going to my buddies house and the car died while in motion. pulled out the spark plug tester and i'm getting no spark. i'm curious how do you check if the timing belt snapped? also how would i know if it was my dizzy?

get a new alternator and have it on hand, the bearings in your current one have been damaged by the overtightened belt.
