The best way to avoid getting shocked is to have your wife hold the end of the wire while you turn the mag over. If she's bigger than you or you've already tried this method before, cut the adjusting tab off an old spark plug. Connect the spark plug wire and ground the base of the plug and the mag to a common ground. The mag should fire this gap with a hot blue spark when the impulse coupling snaps. Check for spark from the coil (top) terminal.
Assuming the mag works and number one cylinder is at TDC, remove the dist cap and turn the mag until the rotor points to the number one terminal. Install mag to engine in this position. With the kill wire connected and the ignition switch off, turn the engine over slowly and listen for every other snap (1 or 4) of the impulse coupling. This snap should occur at TDC. Rotate the mag on the mount to adjust.
