Well, I put on new points and even got the condenser out of the mag and replaced it---since it came with the points from Case-IH.
I am getting spark from the coil. I crank it a few seconds and then just when I stop, I get a spark from the coil wire to the engine block. Don"t know if that is enough.
However, no spark from spark plug coming out of distributor.
Now, I found that the where the distributor rotor fits into the distributor gear, the distributor gear has a piece out of it so the rotor does not fit tight into the center notch of the distributor gear. I assume the timing may not be able to set right since the the rotor will move a half inch or so either way.
Perhaps that is the trouble.
I will see if either Case-IH or a local repair shop have the distributor gear of if they are still available. Might take a few days to get it.
I tried changing the timing different ways to account for the movement, but still no spark. Put #1 piston at TDC (check flywheel marking and also used a piece of wire down #1 cylinder). Set rotor so pointing at about 2 o'clock e.g. #1 cylinder. I tried it both at the back and the front end of the wobble, but still no spark.
If that is not the chip off the distributor gear and the resulting wobble back and forth, then I am baffled. I think I have the timing right and even put on a new distributor cap.

We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen).
