 Finally got it to start. Determined Pertronix unit was working by attaching voltmeter to negative coil and checked that voltage went fro 0 to 12 volts as I manually rotated the crank. Found this is an old post. Then I did as Tom suggested 10 degrees BTDC and then rotated dizzy body until I got spark, tightened pinch bolt. Car started and it was idling high from where I had io set previously. I reduced idle but cannot get it below 1200 rpms. Is there an anything further that I need to do? I am thankful to get to this point and I have enhanced my knowledge. Thank you!
