It sure sounds like you have a blown head gasket. What does the coolant look like? If it has "oil" (actually combustion products) in it, you have a blown gasket.

Flat-head Fords can be made to run with bad head gaskets, but only at the cost of causing further damage. The longer you go without fixing that gasket, the worse the engine will run.

Nowadays, with these tractors increasing in value all the time, it seems especially pointless to keep running the old tractor with a blown gasket when such a great potential for disaster looms from doing so.

In other words, messing with the points, etc., while a head gasket is bad (or while there is forty-five pounds on one cylinder and a hundred and fifteen on another for WHAT EVER reason) is like fussing at a patient with terminal cancer for eating too much fatty food.
