timing should be about 8-10 degrees before top dead center possibly a little more depending... but 8 to 10 should get you started then tune from there...
do you have fuel squirting down the carb when you move the throttle? and do you have any spark? |

I am assuming it ran fine before you swapped the Pertronix. What is the year, make, model and engine is it?
I'd check for spark first and make sure your Pertronix is getting power in both start and run.
