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

It's been a while since I had that setup, currently Crane, but I believe you set it up just like normal. Get the rotor aimed at the notch on the dizzy for a baseline and rotate the dizzy from there. If I remember, there aren't any adjustments for the pickup inside the dizzy?? Just mount it and slide the magnet ring over the dizzy cam?
Did you put in a new cam and lifters? If so, then follow the usual routine, vary rpm for the first 20 minutes or so to get a good pattern on the lifters and make sure they rotate correctly. Just don't let it idle at a steady speed. As far as the rest, really nothing special other than make sure you got oil pressure and take it easy for a bit. My re-ring/new bearings/new cam is going great with essentially those procedures.
