Yes, all FORD Distributors used breaker points. The Front Mount unit must be removed from the engine and tuned up on your bench. Timing is set per manual. DIST must be mounted on engine one way. Get it off and it busts the aluminum base the second power is applied. Don't use an abrasive substance to dress points like sandpaper or a point file. Take a piece of of plain brown paper grocery bag, dab some mineral spirits on it, then pull between point contacts while spinning the rotor by hand. Do a few times then take a piece of dry paper and repeat to clean off spirits. When done, dab some Cam Grease on rubbing block and arm pivot. Don't have any Mineral Spirits? Got any charcoal lighter fluid or paint thinner handy? It's the same stuff. Should do this PM once a year. Note all points are not created equal. Only a few brands are good today. Most Cheena made ones are junk; they can't be set right. Best brand is STANDARD IGNITION/BLUE STREAK with the phenolic rubbing block. P/N is FD-6769X, NAPA should stock them. TISCO is good too but have the plastic rubbing block. The kit, p/n ATK6FF includes the condenser, a small tube of cam grease and a reusable .015 feeler gage to set point gap with. CNH p/n 87744524 is also good.
The Coil on the front mount has one terminal contact on top and the bottom has a pigtail spring that makes the electrical connection. If it gets skewed off as shown in picture, failure to launch is the result.
If Distributor gets forced down and mounted 180 DEG off, at first power up it will bust the base and render it junk. Why? The camshaft head has an offset female slot on it and the distributor Cam & Weights has an offset male tang and they must mate up correctly when assembled.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
