Recently replaced sparkplugs, points, condenser,coil and dist. cap on my 50 model 8n due to a misfire! Now when you try to start it, the engine just turns over and over. Checked at sparkplugs and there is no fire there at all. Everything I try gets same results_ no fire! Checked through forum for some answers but none so far. Anyone that could help me, info would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Lee (it has front distributor)

Make sure that the coil spring connector on the coil is making contact with the top of the points screw in the distributer....

You replaced the points, condenser, coil and distributor cap but did you put the rotor back? Forget that, no one would be that..:-). kidding! Do the basics. With a VOM start at the battery check for voltage through the points. If ok open and close the points and see if you get spark from the coil. "If Not" at any check point, you know what to do. Form there with a rotor in place, verify the plug wire firing order, turn over the engin and check for spark at the plugs.
Good luck.
