1958 Ford 861 Tractor

Well guys I am totally stumped on this thing. I checked for current to the coil, all was good. Checked other wiring for shorts and that was all fine. Re-adjusted the points, put on another coil, new condenser, and still nothing. What is up!!!!!!

If you have a 6 volt battery be sure you have a 6 volt coil. A 6 volt system does not have a ballast resistor for the coil. The hot wire from the ignition goes to the + on the coil and the points wire goes to the - on the coil. Check with the cap off to be sure the dist. is turning and the points are opening and closing when cranking.
