Good Day All
Im having a firing issue while restoring my 51 JD B. Its a wico Distrubutor and changed from 6 to 12 volts. I have power to the distributor however no spark in the points. I had brought the coil to an older experience mechanic to see if it working. He could not checking it properly as he had sold most of his equipment, however it does have resistance on both wires from the coil and in his opinion, he doesn;t believe there would be anything wrong with the coil. (no burn smell etc). He thought it most likely the condenser or points or both.
I bought and replaced both points and condenser. I now have spark in the points but still no spark to the plugs. I checked the plug wires and they are working good. Also have new plugs. Where should I go from here? Is there any other way of finding out if the coil is actually working before I buy one. What else should I check?
All help would be appreciated
Thanks
