Help identifying cub points and distributor

I ordered an new condenser and points from YT for my cub but they don't fit. I did install the condenser but need help figuring out the points. I have fire to the points and a strong spark from the coil but nothing past that.

All the pics in my manual show a horizontal distributor but mine is vertical. The points in my distributor are a one piece set up and the new ones I bought are two piece and they will not fit this distributor.

The cub was running fine when parked but now is no spark to the plugs. Maybe new cap, rotor, disc etc but how can I know if I'll get the correct parts. Can someone identify from these pics?

Just a guess but I'm betting that tractor originally came with a magneto and some one changed it to an after market distributor as that appears to be a Delco distributor
not a horizontal IHC unit
 
that is not ihc dist. those points looks like what massey 44 and the flathead Chrysler's used, in delco distributer.
 
Delco, very common points, used by GM, AC, JD, and many others. Parts store should have or be able to cross Standard motor products # DR2227P. That is the number for Standard's Blue Streak grade points. # DR2227PT is the other grade they have, no copper, no lube strip, supposed to be "competitively priced" to be competitive with others.
 
do the simple thing... take points to napa and ask for massey harris 44 points. then you can see they are correct. nothing hard.
 
Looks exactly like the Delco distributor on my Minnie-Mo "U" - and virtually every other 4 cylinder MM tractor of the era.
 
If fire out the coil high voltage, the problem is in the cap and rotor. Check them for broken carbon button, cracks
or carbon tracks in both (and through the rotor to the shaft it mounts to) Delco as noted below/above. Jim
 
That is a Delco distributor. There used to be a "conversion" package to replace magneto's, that used the vertical Delco distributor. If you have a NAPA close to you, here are the parts you might need:

RR145 - Distributor Cap.

RR301 - Distributor Rotor.

RR164 - Distributor Dust Cover.

CS763A - Points.

RR174 - Condenser.
