I was handed down my wifes grandpas old Ford 600. It was running before he got sick, but set for about 18 months. Put a battery on it, but still wouldnt crank. So I cleaned the carburetor and I put a tune up kit in, new points, condenser, rotary button, and spark plugs. Still no fire. I wiggled the wires in the dash, it cranked right up and was running great. Drove it around some hooked the disc up and parked it. Got up the next morning disced a little bit on my food plots before church no issues. Came back from church started discing again and it was running fine. Suddenly it starts missing and spitting and sputtering and goes dead. I let it set for a minute and it cranked back up and would run good for a minute then right back to spitting and sputtering. Limped it back to the shed and its still sitting there. I found one side of the terminal block burnt up in the dash. It had been 12 volt converted Im assuming years ago before a 12 volt wiring harness was available. There was wires running everywhere stuff just cut and hanging and spliced and what not. So I ordered a new 12 volt wiring harness. Ive got it put on expect a couple wires. It has a 12 volt coil on it so I dont have or need a resistor unless Ive misunderstood something. So Ive got a few wires I cant figure out. Theres a white wire in the harness that goes toward the alternator not sure if it should bolt to the stud on the alternator or what? There is a white wire coming out of the plug on the alternator so I hooked that white wire up to it ran it to the dash had to do some splicing but got the other end in the dash ran to the positive side of the coil. They were both white wires so it seems logical? Still no fire. Theres also a jumper wire running from the plug on the alternator to the stud on the back of the alternator. I tried it first with that hooked up and then without the jumper wire. So now Im stuck with how to get power to the coil. Theres one end of the white wire that goes to the dash and should plug into a resistor which I dont have because the tractor has a 12 volt coil on it. So I made short piece of wire with two male ends and plugged the short white wire on the terminal block to the other end of the long white wire that goes toward the alternator. That white wire was long enough to go around the front of the motor to the coil, but still no fire in distributor cap. It was hot at positive side of the coil but nothing else. That end has a female connector where it would plug into the resistor if I had one, but I dont. I know that white wire has something to do with the coil but every what. I can ground my test light to the negative post on the battery and everything in the distributor cap is hot, but as soon as I put the negative cable on the battery theres no power in the distributor cap. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Then Ive got two red wires in the dash that arent making sense to me. One is the wire from the alternator, the other is a wire that bolts to the positive cable side of the starter solenoid. Ive got a smaller red wire that the wiring diagram says goes from the terminal block to the to the amp meter which Ive bought a volt meter to switch it over. What aint making sense to me is all of these hot wires are going to the volt meter according the diagram, but none of the hot wires other than the small red wire goes to the terminal block so if I wire it like the diagram says the volt meter is always hot whether the key is on or not. Also it seems like that would keep the whole electrical system hot all the time if one of those bigger red wires dont go to the terminal block so that the key actual turns the power off. Im not much of an electrician at all if you cant tell. Someone said the new condenser could be bad so I put another one in it still nothing. Any ideas or thoughts? I know this was a lot and confusing but Im confused. What seems simple has gotten extremely difficult. Thanks in advance folks.
