Line up on Z1 for plug #1 means:
there are 3 notches on the crank pully. The Z1 notch tells you that EITHER cyl 1 or cyl 4 is TDC. There is also are mark in the distributor to mark #1 cylinder for the rotor. When the Z1 notch lines up witht the mark & th rotor is pointing at the notch for cyl 1, you have #1 cyl at TDC....
....I think!

Turn the engine over by holding tension on the fan belt and turning the fan clockwise till the Z1 mark on the lower pulley lines up with the case seam. If the rotor points to around one o'clock at a notch in the distributor housing, it's at TDC.
Simple belt test is to try to spin the secondary rotor by hand. If it spins, belt is kaput.

No need to remove plugs. You'll encounter compression bumps but it's not an impossibility to turn it over. The compression will seem to release as you continue turning. This exercise need not be directly centered on Z1 as you're just trying to gauge rotor position.
