I have a question for you all. (Its about my "67 Massey Gas Deluxe w/z-145 engine.) Last week I posted that I was able to solve the wiring issue for my tractor that has been a hassle since it came home last year. (A short had developed inside the wiring harness). It now turns over without a hassle but it won"t fire. I replaced the spark plugs all but one of them were fouled up. I checked all the connections and I made sure I was getting power into the positive terminal and through to the negative terminal on the coil. I pulled out the coil wire that feeds to the middle of the distributer and the copper ends were blackened and they broke so I replaced that wire and copper ends. I was able to get a blue spark from the end of that wire to the block. I tried it again and it wouldn"t spark. I filed the points and it will turn over but not fire. Its been suggested that its either the coil or the condenser/armature assembly. Because of the fact I"ve been at school and working most of the time the tractor sat outside where it stopped all winter tarped up. I"m assuming this is the main culprit. How can I tell if the condenser points have gone bad? I was flipping through the parts on here last night and saw an electronic ignition. Is this a good investment or should I keep the points/condenser in place?
Or alternatively is it the coil not firing - I picked up a new one from Auto Zone last night and it wasn"t able to fire with that on there either. Thanks, Christos

Ford Super Dexta - by Anthony West. The rusty blue tractor caught my eye as my truck zipped by the farm implement business. It looked so fornlorn amongst the lineup of newer equipment. But it was just the right size for my small farm. I stopped in and asked the proprietor for further information. "It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
