I put a Pertronix breakerless ignition plate in my JD and it works flawlessly. Considering the same for my 8N. I can take the dist out and put it back in pretty well, but setting the points every 40-50 hours is getting old. Also, getting a bit hard to start in the cold weather.
Batt is fresh, plugs are good, carb is well in tune. I can start it when cold, but takes a bit of cranking, and fiddling.
Have you put the ignitor in? Did you go with the ext coil offered in the kit? I'm thinking of just the pickup igniter, and leave the coil on the cap as stock.
Suggestions welcome, except telling me to just keep adjusting points. Laying on my side, with a mirror and stubby screwdriver and feeler gauge is nogo.
