Well after all the WTF's I found the EI had crapped out Lesson learned take the key out of the ignition when done for the day, I suspect this was the EI's down fall finding the ignition on over night a couple of times.
Anyway I swapped out the entire distributor and went back to points and condenser ignition. Why? way cheaper to maintain and or replace points and condenser when needed.
So here my issues now due to being in a hurry and not paying attention I messed up the timing. I have been reading the instructions on how to time and I have a couple questions.
I found the timing marks on the fly wheel 0degrees , 4 degrees and 5 degrees etc are clearly visible.
I set the points to .025 prior to installing the distributor in the tractor
Then lined up the timing mark up to the pin and my rotor was pointing toward the right front tire, I read where it should be pointing toward the right front head bolt or 1# plug
Also I have read where the tractor is timed at 0 degrees and I have read where it is 4 degrees
In a post some where I read the there at another set of timing marks 180 degrees a part on the flywheel.
These are my questions
