Don't get on this site much as most of my tractors are -000 series Fords.
A neighbor brought their 8N up for me to get running, it's been converted to 12 volt and Delco alternator.
Have several issues to go over but first is the distributor, I have spark at the points and a good spark coming from the coil wire but nothing going to the plugs. As I was cranking the engine I got a light shock through my jersey glove from the top of the distributor with all wires in place, I'm thinking it needs a new cap and wires but it has a aftermarket distributor, may be a Tisco but not 100% sure, are there any other aftermarket distributors for 8N's, if it is a Tisco this site shows a cap for older Tisco distributors, are there newer distributors also or is that the only one.
I hate ordering the wrong parts.
 
Prestolite was one. Rotor in it has what looks like big counter weight opposite the contact tip. Post a picture, inside & out.
 

Yes it does look like a counter weighted rotor button.
Sorry I just got this new Mac computer and haven't got the picture loading and posting part down yet.
Hoping I don't have the problems with this Mac like I was with Windows.

Prestolite: believe these are correct numbers.
points IGS2224LB and BWD #A81
condenser IAT3076HS
rotor IGP1016D and ECH #AL150
cap IBK1009 and Prestolite #3-129 and ECH #AL165


Should look much the same as this:
 

That looks a lot like it.
I'll take a better look at it tomorrow, just got in from working a fatality accident out on the main highway, guy lost it on a icy bridge.
I've known him since he was a little boy.
