Still waiting for my manuals. I should probably tell you that, while I can fix a lot of things, I am not a mechanical genius when it comes to engines. Really need a book for reference and a mentor to get thru a lot of it. The little Farmall B that I dragged home ran good when I looked at it. I drove it home thru a driving rain and left it on the trailer all night and it started and ran good the next day. Here I am a week and a half later and it turns over good with a fresh battery but looks like no spark. This is a 12 volt conversion. Only thing I have done was to unbolt this little can-like thing above the distributor so that I could read the engine serial number. This part connects to the center of the distributor with a heavy wire. I am sorry, but I don't have a clue what it is called without a book to look it up in(I AM learning but it won't happen fast). Anyhow, is there a likely cause for this or do I just need to run all the wiring and look for a problem? Any diagnostics I can try to short cut to the problem? I have a voltage meter. Almost forgot, the can-like thing is feeling pretty warm after only a few trys at starting it. I was wondering if this is normal too? Looking for a little help!
