Tractor Repair: No Spark, rotor, ford


Question
I have a late 40's Ford 8N.  I've replaced the coil, condensor, new plugs, rotor, cap, points and I can't get a spark.  Where do I go from here?  Also, are there any tests for the coil and condensor to verify they are ok?

Answer
Don I think you will find your problem in the points area firstly check the points them selves did you clean the contacts with a spirit as some times they put a protectant on them.
Secondly the wire that supplies power to the points is it on the correct side of the mounting point it needs to be insulated from earth check this out.
