Once you get the engine running with Pertronix, use the timing light to determine if you need to advance or retard it. You may have noticed(and it has been posted many times on this site) that the 10mm nut that holds the distributor to the back of the oil pump is "slotted" This can be used for the final adjustment without fear of the dizzy popping out of its hole.(set this nut near the middle of the slot before doing tha main/large adjustment)
Our engines run best at 30 degrees full advance(about 3000rpm) and NOT the 34-37 degrees called for in most American iron. After this setting is obtained, don't worry about the idle advance as it doesn't matter
