have farmal 400 with prestolite distributor # 1BT4106A9C. have it&t manual but does not have point gap & timing settings. does anybody know it? tractor runs rough and am sick of it. am thinking of putting pertronix conversion kit so
i don't have to set point gap. has front end loader & hydraulics so is in way. i take out
distrib to set it. distributor reman will not rebuild prestolites and they have zero salvage value.

Jim - I'm not familiar with the Prestolite dist on a Farmall. However if you set the points at .018 - .020 it should work fine. Then set the static timing at 0 deg (ie. top dead center).

With an oddball distributor and the loader stuff in the way, your 400 sounds like a good candidate for electronic ignition!
