What is the best method to time a 74 TR6 with a Pertronix ignitor and a Crane
ignition module?  I am using the stock distributor with both retard and
advance 
lines disconnected.  The car has triple Webers and headers with a
stock cam and 
the car is not used on the street.  I have been told that with
the Webers, I 
will need to time it a little more advanced to get the benefit
of the carbs.

I had thought to start by using a vacuum guage to set the idle
timing and then a 
timing light to see what it is doing at, say, 3000 and/or
4000 rpm.  Does anyone 
have any ideas on what degrees of advance I should
shoot for at the higher rpm?

Thanks, Jim in Folsom, CA
