Hey Bob, not at home now but could send you what holes the rods are in when I get home if that's what you need.

I'll send it to you Bob when I get home this evening--Henry
BTW, I put a 10-1 pickup in my Magnum and to my ears, really brought out what was already a good tone. Going to swap out C6th with a 10-1 also. Still loving mine, I think it's more guitar for the pound than anything out there, Just my 2 cents--

Ok Bob, here's the way mine is rodded to bell cranks and changer. The bell cranks holes I'm counting from the bottom up with guitar upside down, starting with the lowest hole which is number one. On the changer, I'm counting down with guitar set up on the raise part of changer which will be the one with 4 holes.
A pedal-string 5, 2nd hole on bell crank, 2nd on changer
A pedal 10th string , 3rd on bell crank and 3 on changer
B Pedal-string 3 5th on bell crank, 3rd on changer
B Pedal-string 6, 1st on bell crank, 4th on changer
C Pedal- string 4, 4th hole on bell crank, 2nd on changer
C pedal- String 5, 2nd on bell crank and 3rd on changer
The A pedal setting is a little odd because usually, the smaller the string , the more pull you need but mine pull right together and guitar plays easy. With guitar upside down, the closer the rod to the bottom of bell crank, the easier the pull but also longer. For the changer end with guitar set up right, the top hole is the shortest pull but hardest to pull. The 4th hole is the easiest but a longer pull.
I attached a picture of my setup but it is Day setup so if you play Emmons, your A and C pedals would be swapped.

Bob, I played my Magnum out tonight for first time with the 10-1 pickup. It made a wold of difference. Notes are clearer with better string separation and more sustain. I'm sure ther are probably lots of good pickups for the Magnum but am satisfied with the 10-1.
