I have a '39 9n that's been converted to 12v. I gutted the square can and made it pass-through and I'm running a round coil from a 80's F150. I'm getting no spark. So I change and set the points
(0.15) its gets spark, runs great for about 5-10 mins then dies, no spark. I take off the distributor and the new points I just set are shut and do not open when I turn the cam. They also don't
really line up correctly with each other. Even though these are new points I just installed, after that 10mins of running and then dying, there is no adjustment I can make to them to get them to open
again from the cam lobes.
So I thought maybe that this old distributor was worn out, so I got a new one from Complete Tractor. Inspected it out of the box, the points looked to be set correctly so I installed and fired the
tractor right up. After 10 mins of running, again, shuts off, no spark. I take the new distributor off and the exact same thing, points are not opening when you spin the cam. And the points do not
line up correctly, but they do touch. So I have rest the points now as best I could in the new distributor, and I'll try it again, but I'm pretty sure in 10mins it will die again with no spark and
when I pull the distributor. I'll find a set of points that don't open when I turn the cam.
What can be causing this???
