A couple weeks ago, I posted about getting my 1973 Ford 3000 gas tractor started. Because of the advice, I got it running last week with correct
timing and new points and condenser. However, a few days ago, I tried setting the timing again because it was running terribly like the timing was little
off, and now I guess I set it too far and I cant get it started for the life of me. I am 95% sure I got the distributor on correctly now. When the number
one cylinder is all the way up and the zero on the flywheel is lined up with the arrow, I point the rotor towards the one on the cap and put it into place.
However, when I look at the spark, they are all very weak and yellow. The coil is brand new and so are the spark plugs. It turns over great, the battery
charges, but there is no indication of it even trying to start. Does anyone know what this might be?
