If Cam and Crank marks agree at 0° TDC for #1, but distributor is off, you may be able to get it in time without messing with the belt.

Pull the distributor out and turn the rotor CW so its centerline is about 1/4" past the #1 index mark/notch on the edge of the distributor body. (The 1/4" represents the initial 12° degrees of Distributor Advance—i.e., the rotor was at the mark 12° before the cam & crank got to 0°.)

Then turn it about 30° more and hold it there as you put the distributor back in. You may need to wiggle the rotor to help engage the drive gears.

As the gears engage, the rotor will pivot back to the left, and hopefully stop at 1/4" past the mark. If it's close, you may be able to bring it in with the rotational adjustment range. Or you may need to play with the initial 30° preset and try again.

It all depends on how many teeth the I-shaft gear is off.
