The last Tisco tune-up kit I bought for an IH distributor on an M I had to bend/twist the points quite a bit to get them to align squarely. Might have been just the kit I bought, I don't know. I've have had better luck with Tisco kits for D-R distributors.
The last A&I kit I bought the rotor was junk. You could slide the contact piece around about 1/4 inch.
The last "genuine" CIH ignition parts I bought the cap woudn't even come close to fitting properly. They must have changed suppliers or something about a year ago.
All imported condensers seem to be of questionable quality. Some work fine, some make your points look like you welded on them after 5 hours, some just quit. I try to reuse my old condensers if the points look fairly decent for the hours that are on them.
Lately I've been buying NAPA/Echlin ignition parts. Pricey, but they fit and hold up well. I have also had good luck with Standard and Blue Point ignition parts in the past, too.
Years ago, nearby TSC or QFF stores stocked "Standardized" ignition parts in a bubble pack. The other had "Sorensen" ignition parts. Both were good bang for your buck.

The holes in some of the aftermarket bowl gaskets are usually a bit off. Make sure you use good packing for the main fuel adjustment screw if it isn't in the kit. When you get the carb apart, make sure you shake your float to be sure it doesn't have a hole in it. Check for throttle shaft bushing wear too.
Some folks curse the rubber-tipped needle seats, but I think they're in the CIH kits, too. The rubber-tipped ones stick once in a while and the old style steel ones can seep.
Always check dimensions of the main nozzle before swapping it out if it's in the kit. I can't speak for Tisco's kits, but A&I's nozzles are sometimes wrong. Compare all shafts, butterflies, etc., to your old ones.
Don't toss any old parts until you are happy with the way your tractor runs with the new parts in the carb.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
