The car I bought had a Pertronix electronic ignition module in it, but with a stock coil and really crappy wires. The old distributor had seen better days, but it wasn't terrible.
The car ran great, but it had a little low end bogging when you let the clutch out in first gear. I installed a new Pertronix distributor and coil, as well as new wires and plugs. It runs much better now, but I need to set the timing. I remember how to do that on a regular Lucas distributor, but on the Pertronix, there is no low tension wire to disconnect in order to set the static timing.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Also, is it necessary to use a timing light after setting the static timing? I seem to recall that all you really needed to do on these cars was to only set the static and not the dynamic timing.
Thanks...again
