Sometimes the Z1 is hard to see due to the angle of sight being blocked by the engine mounting bar and dirt/oil covering the mark. However, try this:

Remove the distributor cap and rotate the engine until the rotor points to the mark on the housing which is for #1 cylinder. Look at the pulley and you should be looking at two notches close together. If not, you may be 180 degrees out, so rotate the engine around to the distributor mark. I believe your car is timed at 5 degrees ATDC so if you see the two notches, the one on the right should be TDC.
