Normally the belt will sit in the same place on all three gears, though it might be forced back or forward if one or more gears were worn. But usually what you describe occurs because the big screw holding the distributor gear to the aux. shaft is loose, and the gear is slowly working its way off the engine. When that's the case, the fix is to tighten the screw to 25 ft-lb (if you believe the specifications in the shop manual) or to 54-56 ft-lb (if you prefer to believe section A52 of the shop manual). Personally, I use the lower torque and some blue Loctite threadlock.
