I am having an interesting issue with distributor on Ford 9N.
I've replaced the Distributor Cap, Rotor, Points and Condenser.
When I test without the Distributor Cap on I get a spark across my test spark plug when I turn the rotor shaft clockwise (1,3,4,2) and counter-clockwise (2,4,3,1)... (looking at front of distributor like it was mounted to engine).
However, when I put the Distributor cap on, it will only generate a spark when spun counter-clockwise (2,4,3,1)... I've tested with old cap and old rotor, mixing between old and new and still get the same... sparks when turned 2,4,3,1 and nothing 1,3,4,2...
With the cap on, I've tried rotating back and forth between 4,3,1 and 1,3,4 and it sparks when passing 4,3,1, but nothing when reversing thru 1,3,4.
It is making no sense to me...
