Yes, time it like the stock distributor.

This is 5 degrees BTDC. But it could be for #1 cylinder or #4 cylinder.

If it backfires when attempting to start, rotate the plug wires two spots over and try it again.

Why not use 9mm plug wires?

See Ignition Timing, section "Initial Timing"

1. Turn engine until old distributor points to #1 plug wire

2. Remove old distributor

3. line up teeth on new distributor while installing

BP5ES is perfect. Or you could go with BP5ES-11 which has a larger gap.

Very good. Static time it to 5 degrees BTDC and enjoy. You may be able to advance the timing some (until it pings then back it off).
