2 weeks ago before I went on vacation I posted about SH that would fire. It had been on 29 mile tractor ride and in the next few days began to start very hard. then would not fire. In the last 40 hours of use I had converted to 12v. I had got a new point set and 12v coil. Before I started changing parts I checked the resistor that is before the distributor. It had 12v on both sides even going to the dist. I removed resistor and installed new 12V coil and She started up on the first bump. Question?? Is the porcelain resistor directional? I saw no markings on it. or is this the nature of a resistor. Looking back I know I should have checked output of resistor on installation.
