Z1 Fun.

Just did my 87 Carrera and I started with a similar issue. You've got to look at the fan pulley, not the AC pulley. Also, I could see no "z1", just the marks. Just to make it fun, I have "two" notches about 1/2" apart in the vicinity of z1. Some one had added a mark sometime in my cars history. You actually have 3 marks at 120 degrees apart (plus my extra mark). I put a dab of whiteout on the other two and then interpolated which of the two I had that is actually 120 degrees away. At that point, the distributor rotor looked right, pointing at #1 so off I went on valve adjusting. Seems to have worked out fine, car is running great and I learned alot.
