An update, the engine would start but not run very well. Here is what I had done. Converted over to 12 volts, replace the battery, starter switch, had starter rebuilt, installed Hitachi alternator, replaced the plugs, cap, rotor, wires, coil, put pertronix ignition, I made up new battery cables, new ignition switch, made new wiring harness. So there was a lot things that could have been the problem with that much changed. Went over all things I had done, couldn't find anything wrong. I didn't think it was spark thou. Removed #4 wire as that's what I grabbed, hooked up to old sparked plug. Got my Dad to crank it, had spark. He said why not try the other 3. Got to #1, no spark. What? Took off the cap, there is some sort of plastic that covers up where the points are. This H has a delco distributor, the plastic cover is covered in brass filings. There is nicks in the terminals on the new cap from the rotor hitting them. Put the old cap & rotor back on, engine came to life & ran okay. Think carb needs some tuning. For the moment no more gas coming out the throat. Measured the old rotor, new rotor, about .022 longer. Have a IH truck from 1952, L-110. I uses the same rotor. It was just replaced last week. It measures the same as the old rotor. Only reason I changed them, the chrome plating was coming off the rotor. I brought most of these parts from year ago & just got around to installing them. They came from a place in MI, as this site wont ship north of the border. Thanks for the ideas.
