It looks to be a mag. Did you pull this mag off the tractor to install the new points and condenser? If you did you may not have installed the mag in time with No1 piston.

Set your point gap at .013" and reinstall rotor and cap. Remove the wire from center of the cap
and hold it within a 1/4" of the mag frame. Have someone turn the mag over using the lugs that are sticking out. There should be a post for the impulse coupling to contact and it will be a little difficult to turn and do this several times and see if you have any spark from that coil wire.

You will need to watch that very closely to see the fire. Post back what you find. Hal
