I recently put back together my 1949 Farmall H after getting it unseized. I tried starting it for the first time today and was not able to get it to fire. All cylinders are getting spark and it has brand-new points and condenser along with the distributor cap and all of the wires. The firing order is correct and it has not fired one single time since trying to start it. The fuel mixture is right on the carburetor so I am assuming it Is the timing. It has a vertical distributor and is still 6v. I located the two notches in the camshaft pulley to find tdc (yes im sure it wasn't the oiler notch) I used the first notch that lined up with the timing pointer and then checked to see where the rotor was. I took off the cap and it was pointing (if looking down at the distributor from above facing the exhaust stack) to the bottom right(or farthest away from the engine and closest to the radiator. But the number one on my cap was one post over to the left. So I switched 1 plug to the terminal that the rotor was at on tdc and did firing order from there. Then moved distributor to find spark. But still when I go to start it it doesn't Fire once (and im sure it's on compression strike, I've tried both ways and even tried using the 2nd of the 2 notches on the camshaft pulley as tdc and same result. Any suggestions?[/i]
