For a VW 1303 distributor converted to Pertronix electronic ignition, the timing mark should generally be set at the factory specification, which is typically around 7.5 degrees BTDC (before top dead center) at idle. However, it's essential to consult the specific Pertronix instructions for your model, as some setups may require slight adjustments depending on the engine and ignition system. Always ensure that the engine is at the correct idle speed when setting the timing.

You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
