I have a 9N front mounted distributor Ford. It will not start
and I have discovered that it has no spark to the plugs. I have
checked out everything from battery to pigtail on the coil and
voltage flows to all parts. I have had the coil/distributor
bench tested at a tractor shop and all is good.
I find that when the coil is energised the body of the
distributor is hot. Now I am just a dumb farmer but how are
you going to get spark to the plug if the distributor body is
hot? I have pulled it down on the bench and find that power
to the pigtail contact results in power to the dist. body.
