I just installed a Pertronix in my TR4A. So, is the timing process any
different for an electronic ignition?

My method is similar to what Bob has described though I try to get the
initial set-up at about 4* then use the vernier from there.
Probably obvious but I'll mention that you want to set the points gap
before you set the timing.
My full (simple) sequence is: points gap, timing, carb sync, mixture
adjustment & idle adjustment. The engine only needs to be hot for the
last 2. This assumes you start with good clean compenents (plugs
wires, etc.).
