It is probably 45-50 years since I changed my first set of points on a Farmall. Most of the time since I have had 2 to 4 of those 4 cylinder gassers. I'm thinking I probably changed 75-100 sets of points in my lifetime. I could count on one hand the number of times I adjusted timing as a result of the new points. Of those 5 times timing was probably off before points were changed. I fail to see how changing points in a Farmall could affect the timing.

Oh and by the way about 3 weeks ago I went to shed, my 3 tractors hadn't been going in 2-3 months. They each fired up within 20 seconds. I cant remember the last time timing was set on my Super A or 130. I know 140 was timed last spring, as I had just bought it. I don't recall that it was anymore than a check, as I didn't change it. I did throw away the cruddy set of points and condencer that someone bought at a nickel and dime store.

My 140 is a bit of and amusing story as it had been owned by 3 guys that hadn't been able to get it going in the past 5-10 years. I've heard various stories on that one. A neighbor and I went to pick it up and we had it running well enough to load on his truck within 5 minutes. We took with us fresh gas, good 12 volt battery and most ign. replacement parts. The gas and battery were all that was needed that day.
