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.
