Do you have to run a helmet style distributor? If so, make sure it has the 11A cam and advance mechanisms - will give you more advance (which is what you'll want). I'd surely mark TDC on the front pulley and achieve a total advance between 24 - 26 degrees all in. It is usually a bit easier to run a crab style distribuor - with the 11A mechanism, good points, etc - you should be able to handle 5500 - 6000 rpm.
