According to my memory, the Petronix on my car, a '72, was to be 15 degrees

<< Mark, I don't know specifically about the Lumenition, but your description

Pertronix I had to set the timing, and discovered that static timing
wouldn't work, it had to be dynamic. The car would start and run sufficient
to effect timing.
