Q: Which wire? You talking about the "+" wire to the distributor or the center coil wire?

A: On a Pos ground tractor, that should be the lil wire that hooks to the coils lil + terminal NOT the big center high voltage coil output lead. Its the big high voltage lead which should spark to ground each time the points were closed but are then opened.........

Q: Ok one probe of the voltmeter on the coil-to-distributor stud on the coil ("+") and the other end of the voltmeter to where? (Im not electrically savvy)

A: The voltmeter (or better a cheap simple test lamp) will have its - black lead on the coils lil + terminal and its red + lead on frame ground...........

Q: There is only one wire from coil to the distributor, that is the "+" wire. You say ALL
Wires---meaning more than one. Confused.

A: MY fault, I mean the wire on the coils lil + terminal (one that leads down to distributor) SHOULD BE REMOVED........

Q: How am I jumping? from where to where? Excuse my ignorance...

"then
remove the lil terminal to and off frame ground"

"lil" terminal? Arent we talking about the center coil wire that is the largest of the three wires on the coil? Or am I misunderstanding?

A: Okay, the big center high voltage wire (removed from distributor cap) is the one held 1/8 away fromm tractor steel and what should spark that gap when the points were closed then open. You jump/connect a lil jumper wire FROM the coils lil + terminal to frame ground, and each time its grounded but then removed, the coils big high votage lead ought to spark the 1/8 gap to the tractor.
