Find the mechanical TDC on #1 cylinder by actually feeling the piston go to TDC. Remove the spark plug and use a long screw driver (that will not fall into the hole) and feel for TDC as you rotate the crank manually. The timing marks should be on the flywheel in that area. If that doesn't help, run the motor, use your timing light and start rotating the distributor each way to see if you marks show up. If that doesn't do it, connect the timing light pick-up to the coil wire and it should flash 4x faster. If that doesn't help, get a helper that has 20/20 vision to help...the marks have to be there somewhere.
