Hey all,
I"m looking for some advice as to the simplest approach to replacing the points on a Farmall C (to-my-knowledge all original electrical - 6V system and horizontally mounted distributor). I"m asking because I"ve never done any ignition work before but dad suggested I take care of this "maintenance". I"ve got the cap and rotor off, shattered the dust cap to pieces and now I"m looking at the points, etc. My question is...in your experience is it simplest to remove the distributor and drive assembly from the tractor? It seems the engine oil filter and manure loader frame are going to make replacing points, condensor, etc. tricky (PITA). Reason for asking is I"m apprehensive to do this if I"m going to have to mess with engine timing...never done that either...Could someone with experience here please let me know of the simplest way for a novice to tackle this is? Your help is, as always, much appreciated!
