BIG MOE..... ..spittin' and sputterin' is sure sign of WEAK SPARKIES. But I'll bettcha it'll start in the cold morning and run for about 1-hr. Unfortunately, yer 4-nipple squarecan ignition coil is not as ruggid as we'd like it to be. And UNFORTUNATELY 12v conversions, unless done correctly, will BARFF yer squarecan ignition coil by OVERHEATING the coil and melting the insulative tar and shorting out some of the coil windings and cause WEAK SPARKIES. Unfortunately, there are 2-ways to convert the 4-nipple frontmount distributor to 12-volts and I don't know which way yer 9N's frontmount distributor was converted. It could have been done the "cheap-way" by using the OEM 6-volt squarecan ignition coil and a 12-to-6volt converting resistor. ($3, cheep) ...or... the conversion could have used the new modern expensive 12-volt squarecan ignition coil. Unfortunately, NEATHER the 6-volt or the 12-volt squarecan ignition coil is plainly marked for its designed operating voltage. So I really can't help you there. You are going to haffta be yer own 12-volt mechanic and figger out which way you want to generate yer sparkies. Me? I'd use the modern 12-volt squarecan ignition coil and NO RESISTORS. ..... .respectfully, Dell, a 12-volt advocate for the right reasons. That said, I haven't found the right reason for my eazy starting 6-volt 52'8N and I know how to do it right, the FIRST time. Infact, I know 8-ways to do it right and they all work.
