1958 Ford 861 Tractor

According to this site:

If the tractor has not been converted to 12V, it should be a positive ground.
Just sayin'

It's turning over, but no spark at the points? Do you have them gapped correctly?

Man now I'm really confused and thank you guys for the help and patience. Okay, before this whole mess I was using your typical 12 Volt battery with the normal + going to the solenoid and - going to ground with all six volt components. Note I inherited this tractor as it was so just used it until all these issues developed with burning coils and points. Now that I have a 6 volt battery I should be hooking up the negative to the solenoid and the positive to ground? I am totally confused but need to get some work done.
