The most obvious and probably easiest way to find any timing would to divide 360 by the number of teeth on the flywheel starter ring. That number would be the number of degrees per tooth, then from either the TDC mark or 20 deg mark you can count teeth to mark your 27 or 30 reference and mark the backside of flywheel with liquid paper (the white shows up great and applies easy) so that it shows through the little window. I don't remember how many teeth on ring so the hardest thing to this is to count the teeth without going cross-eyed.

Well thats what im gonna do, so im basicall gonna mark one tooth and keep counting and pray my phone doesnt ring lol
actually another way to set the timing is just take the shroud off which you have to do to install the pertronix anyway, and use the timing mark on the flywheel against the gear cover timing marks to set timing. I think they are in BTDC if they are in ATDC then thats totally useless for that.
