1952 8N Ford
Side mount dist.
6 volt system, + ground
Heres the scoop,
Grandpa gave me the tractor last year and said I had to restore it.. He bought it in 1952.
Fast forward to now and it's re painted and re wired.
(Re wired because a few were burnt or bare or bypassed)
Tractor ran when I drove it into my shop.
I have power at the coil with key on, power at the points when they're open.. no power on the (+) side of the coil when they are closed. I have it gapped to .025. When I pull a plug and leave the wire on and hold it to the block there is NO visible spark.
I double triple checked the gap. There is power at the points (it's not grounding on the side of the dist) It is a new coil and new plug wires. And it is 1,2,4,3 firing order.
I've searched this site and found lots of trouble shooting but I'm still not getting anything.
I hope I answered all the questions you might have, thanks in advance!
