I converted my 1959 Ford 851 from 6 volt generator to a 12 volt alternator. It was easy and I am happy with that decision. However, after many hours of work the tractor just quit. Sounded like out of fuel problem but it wasn't. Also, the neon spark indicator indicated that all plugs were firing.
I installed a kit consisting of points, rotor, and capacitor and the tractor fired off immediately and runs great again. But, I wish I knew which of those items caused the problem. I tested my points with an ohm meter and they looked good. I don't know how to test a rotor other than by inspection and seeing if the plugs fire. My question is "how do you know that a capacitor is bad"?. Is there a way to test it. I had a weak spark that made me think electrical was ok.....it wasn't.
