I was out changing the points in my new 8N and I accidently broke the copper conductor off. (the piece from the side of dist. to the points) How can I go about fixing this? I searched the archives and came up with nothing..which really suprised me.. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Tom

Tom,
Take the old points and the new points and throw them in the garbage. The best thing I ever did is replace my points with an electronic ignition. It would rain and I could never get the tractor started until it dried out. This thing will run under water now. More power, better gas mileage and no worries. Unbelievably easy to install. The link to the supplier is below.

I'm in total total agreement-haven't messed with the ignition system in 7 years since I put the Genesee electronic ignition in.

Tom, You can take the flat spring off your old points and cut and punch it to look like the old conductor you broke. Dave.
