Neighbor called yesterday and asked me if I can get his 8N with a front mount distributor started. He put a new battery in it and said it's getting gas. I check to see if it had spark at the spark plugs and it had none. Checked the ignition wire with my test light leading to the coil while it was cranking and it didn't go off and on while the points were opening. This told me the points were not making contact. If they were making good contact the test light would of went off and on but it didn't. So we pull the distributor out and put in a new set of points. We then found out the new points wouldn't even touch the lobes on the shaft. So they didn't open. Well we ended up buying a new distributor today for $200 and the lobes on that distributor were almost non-existent and the points only made continuity on 3 of the 4 lobes. I've never seen anything like this. Has anyone else had this problem?
