Why is my static timing light staying on with distributor?!

[bay area square]

So I finally put my 2332 in my squareback. But after finally figuring out how to wire the alternator (no thanks to CB), I go to static time it and no matter how much I rotate my distributer the static timing light constantly stays on. It does have an electronic ignition (pertonix flame thrower3). What’s the issue? Thanks guys!

You just answered your own question. Static timing doesn't work if you have an electronic ignition.

How is the light hooked up?

I did read that about distributers with electronic ignitions but didn’t know if it applied to all of them. I have one connection to the negative side of coil and the other grounded out

How's the car been coming along otherwise? Stoked to see it on the road.

It’s going great actually. Got the super beef transaxle in and the motor. Just trying to get the fine tuning down lol.
