I think Glenster is on to it. The bolt and nuts that go through the side of the distributor are stacked in this order (rememberance here) With the bolt out of the hole, a insulator with a snout goes into the hole from the inside, centering the stud. The stud is next, with a thin flat washer under a nut, from the inside out. A flat insulator goes on the outside of the housing. A thin flat washer goes on the outside next, then a nut. A little but more of the stud is inside than out, but not much. Outside next is a flat washer, then the ring of the connection wire terminal end, then a flat washer, lock washer, and last nut. On the inside (from the nut mentioned above)is a flat washer, then the spring from the points (some with a copper strip, some not) then the lead from the condenser, then a flat washer, then a lock washer, then the inside last nut. If this stud is touching, or allowing any part of the metal called out above to touch the dist. housing it will not work. (the coil negative should be connected to the ignition sw, the positive is connected to the distributor. It will work the way it is but the spark will be compromised. let us know what happens!

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
