It would be hard to run fast enough to give me a Pertronix system, so I can't offer any opinion on how to test one. You'll need to establish TDC and make your own pointer and timing mark if there's not an obvious way to establish when a piston is exactly on top. Once that's done, the delay flash light can be used to test all the above functions.
