Bill.......it don't matter when it came out. All ya gotta know is whether ittza 4-nipple frontmount or 5-nipple sidemount ...and... 6V-or-12V, simple, eh?
Alix, you write......."My 47 8n has quit starting. Have cleaned carburator and have plenty of gas. Checked power to coil and have 6.4 volts. Cleaned points with sandpaper...they open when pressed. the distributor points forward etc" .......aint'chur carb and 'nebber was. Why? 'cuz carbs take LONG time to go wrong. And while cleanin' yer points with sandpaper is good EMERGENCY move, yer gonnna be replacing them points innna'bout 10-hrs. trust me
You do know ittza 2-bolt, 15-min job to remove the frontmount dizzy and change the points on the kitchen table, don't you??? Just un-snapple yer capple and letter dangle. Installation is a reversal of the removal ...except... gently start the 2-bolts and twirl yer rotor until the dizzy drops into the OFF-SET cam slot.

Onnna 6V frontmount, you should read about 6V (points OPEN) ...or... about 3V (points CLOSED) The 3V is caused by the MANDATORY "infamous ballast resistor". Its the LAW, Kirchhoff's Law.

You do know that there is an "N-Board" that specializes in just N-Tractor problems, don't you??? .......Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister
