How do you set Pertronix static timing? 140-160 1974

Engine swap yesterday. 6 hour shift until new engine bolted up to bellhousing/break/3 hour shift in the evening adding bits. I hope this works out, because I don't want to do it again soon, if ever. Filled with fluids, cranked it a few seconds, then cleaned up the shop and called it quits for the night.

Now that the distributor gear is in the right position, how do I set the static ignition timing with a Pertronix electronic ignition? Will I see a spark at the plug if I rotate the distributor?

Also any recommendations on a re-ring bearing break-in would be appreciated.
