I think the consensus is "don't do it". The stock distributor has a
centrifugal advance mechanism that starts way down low (below
idle rpm for most of us) and isn't very precise; so the preferred method is to
use static timing to get it running, then take a
drive to make final adjustments.
But if you have to use a light, set it to about 8 BTDC, which is about 3/8"
away from the hole in the front pulley (assuming it is
at TDC as it should be).
