Hello all,
I have a question regarding my 1949 Ford 8N tractor. It has been converted to a 12V system (before I purchased it). It's haveing some trouble starting now--no spark, and as I look over the system, I notice that the coil says "External resistor required". However, the supply wire to the coil goes straight to the ignition switch--no resistor in the path. There is a resistor mounted forward of the distributor, but it's not connected to anything.
Will this be a problem? (The tractor has run fine most of the time for the year that I've had it, in spite of this).
Thanks!
-Jack
