I like to mark the Pertronix collar where the magnetic portion is - it comes in handy to know that. Rotate dizzy counterclockwise until timing light comes on, then back it off clockwise til it goes out. Lock down the dizzy and start the car, dial in dynamic advance as usual. <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Ron Soave</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On May 5, 2020, at 3:40 PM, David Ambrose via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

I am continually amazed at how much I have forgotten in ten or so
years. That’s about how long it has been since I really needed to
do much to my car. Right now I am going thru the tuning process
to get it to run at 5500 ft elevation. I want to check the timing
but do not remember how that is done with a Pertronix ignition.
