[Spridgets] Timing Pertronix ignition

[Ron Soave]

Yup. Set the crank to the static timing spec you want. 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.

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.
