A METAL distributor cap? That would be a....surprise. So would a cap that does not use clips. Can you find the indentations in the cap where the clips would be?
Mkirsch has good advice. The first thing is to verify if problem is spark or fuel, then go from there--assuming you are sure no one has messed with timing or plug wire sequence since it last ran. . Cap and rotor are my first suspects in a 140 laid up for the winter if the problem is on the spark side. If you get a spark with the big coil wire to the block, but not with a plug wire, then it's a definite. I always keep a spare of both around because you cannot always tell if they are bad. (If they are good, I save the old ones from the last change).If you have no idea when they were last changed, swap them anyway. It's the first thing I do if I have a no-start problem in winter--I think the condensation gets to them. You can get them at NAPA or CaseIH.I have had a 1966 140 since Dad brought it home new from the dealer.

When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
