Can a distributor with the Pertronix Ignitor II be static timed?
Not with a continuity detector like Tim described. The Ignitor 2 is a microprocessor-based "intelligent" switch that only closes for a short time when it detects distributor motion. This is done so there is no problem with the solid state switch overheating if the engine stops and the ignition is left on. When I adjust the timing on my car with a timing light I do not get a spark until the crank goes around a time or two. Apparently it takes a little while for the uP to wake up and start firing normally.
