One of the primary causes for this is a stretched timing belt. Even though the belt is a notched belt, they do stretch just enough to make the timing not conform to smog specs. I have had this happen, too, and found that a timing belt replacement solved the problem.

There typically isn't any timing marks at the distributor. It is possible to slightly advance or retard the ignition (spark) timing by rotating the distrubitor but as far as timing marks go, the only that you will find will be right above the camshaft sprocket and the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pully). possible one more for the oil pump or countershaft.
