Just at the end of drilling rye grass, the ole' VAC just quit. Checked for spark, no spark, had power to the points, pulled the coil wire off and it came out in a mass of rust and moisture, so she needs everything, and I'm not sure were to order it from. Any ideas? I think I got the original stuff from Central Tractor. I'm not there right now, but I think this is called the "Autolite" distributor. So, I need to find a place buy points, plugs, condensor, cap, and especially the rotor cap, and I need to know some numbers if you have them, OR is this the right time to go to a 6V positive ground electronic module? The points have served me well, but I'm not against an improvement.

HAS ANYONE CONVERTED TO ELECTRONIC MODULE?
I HAVE TROUBLE WITH POINTS DRAWING MOISTURE AND CORRODING.
I REPLACE POINTS AND COIL ON A TILLER LAST SPRING WITH EM. RUNS BETTER THAN IT HAD FOR YEARS.

Hello, I was able to pick up everything at NAPA on the way home this evening. Points CS725A, condenser AL869, cap AL70, rotor AL69, plugs D21(they did not have any Autolite 3116). I am hoping that this will make a smooth running motor in my new VAI, I think that the Lull loader will be nice to have around. Good luck, Mike S.

Thanks folks! Those are the numbers that I needed. You don't happen to have a copper-core wire set number, do you? I hate the univeral sets if I can avoid them.

D-21 is a pretty hot plug for an engine that is just a few 100 hours from the last overhaul. Original factory plug for VAC was D-16 (now 516), Autolite 386 is an equivalent, better plug in my opinion.

My VAC is pretty fresh, Joe, like you were thinking. I pull it fairly hard now and then, never had a starting problem, and never fouled a plug, so maybe the 386's would be a better choice. Tuned it in on the dyno, but it's still not what you would call a really strong performer, ut it never ceases to amaze me as to how handy it is.

BTW, local NAPA had everything in stock, so I'll get it this weekend when I return, but they have no clue on a copper-core plug wire set. Anyone have a number that they can check against?

Thanks again, guys. I need to find a derelict VAO to renew so I could maneuver under my tree branches.

I buy my wire sets from John Brillman (Brillman.com). He has original looking wire sets at a reasonable price. If you don't see what you need on his web site, call him.

I bought Deere Model "H" stuff from John. I"ll check there, too. This is my chore tractor, and I just need it to start and ruin reliably. My daughter uses it a lot and she has always been pleased at how easy it is for her to start and operate.

I would think Standard Ignition/Blue Sreak or NAPA would have them, if you can get someone willing to drag out the Ag/Industrial Ignition Catalog, and have a look.
