Also, on the ignition system, be sure it has the correct coil and/or resistor.
Coils are a common source of confusion.
The coil could be designed to work with a resistor, or it could be the type that doesn't need a resistor.
The only true way to know is the check the resistance across the + and - terminals.
With the coil out of circuit, check the resistance with an ohm meter. Set the meter on a low ohms setting, either 20 or 200 ohms,depending on the meter.
If the coil reads around 1.5 ohms, it needs a 1.5 ohm resistor in series with the wire from the ignition. The end result, 1.5 + 1.5 = 3
If the coil reads around 3 ohms, it will not need a resistor.
Any wrong combination will either result in a weak spark, or a coil that overheats and over amps the spark circuitry, be it points or electronic.
If you do go to buy a new coil, take your ohm meter and check it before you buy. They are often reboxed or incorrectly listed.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
