I just finished reading all the comments to my original question. I am not sure how the majority of them would help me to solve the problem. I am a retired U. S. Air Force member but that does not have anything to do with solving the problem except that your experience is as a mechanic.
Bruce did ask me for more information and before he did, I realized I did not tell enough information about the tractor before posting the message. So, thanks Bruce, I realize that you must have more information before you can give an intelligent answer.
The tractor is a 6 volt, front mounted distributor, early 1947 model. I purchased the tune up kit from the Ford dealership.
After looking at another forum post, I noticed that the front mount and side mount are different. In my research of the manuals, I did not find the information about setting the points at .015. It appears that the setting of .025 is incorrect.
