I rebuilt a 1963 ford 4 Cyl Gas 134ci motor for my friends tractor. the firing order I believe to be 1243 and the dist. turns clockwise. I have 12V at he coil wire and with my tester pluged into my #1 plug wire I have eratic voltage but no spark with plug Plugged in. Any ideas? Also ther is a black wire with a - sign next to it coming off of the coil. I grounded this ti the block, is this the correct thing to do with this wire? Thanks for any help, I appreciate it. Travis

Ok got it wired right now. Thank you for the help. I believe the starter just crapped out on me. Won"t turn over or click or anything, so I"m off to figure out how to test it. Thanks again. Travis

Since the tractor has been converted to 12 volts, it is (probably) now negative ground. The negative lead from the coil should be connected to the distributor point set. The positive lead should be connected to the ignition switch, preferably through a resistor.

(If for some reason the tractor is positive ground, then the positive lead goes to the distributor. Unconverted 6 volt tractors are positive ground, but are normally converted to negative ground when a 12 volt alternator is installed.)

Positive or negative ground, neither side of the coil should be connected directly to ground. The coil is always grounded through the points.

Its not soemthing simple like the machine being setup to the original (+) ground and you have (-) as the ground?

Each time mine has not had spark its been the points or condenser. Good luck
