Animal Ignition timing

First time building an Animal engine and seem to be confused on the static timing. I have built many flatheads and have the correct tooling and knowledge of setting timing on those. But--- the PVL coil has 4 legs coming off of the coil itself, which one actually does the firing? can some one explain which leg to line up with the far rite side of the magnet on flywheel - or the correct process.
 
Leave the stock key in it, put your same timing light from the flatheads on it, and know EXACTLY where it fires. Also, if you look in the WKA tech manual, the World Formula tech has a good diagram for checking the timing. Keep in mind that the PVL coil has an idle retard in it below 2000 rpm, so you'll need to take your readings with the timing light well above that.

Thanks for the help.. One other quick quistion ---- What size are the threads on the crankshaft, where the flywheel nut goes? Need cleaning up and I don't want to put wrong die on it. Don't know if its metric or standard.
