I have a Ford 3000 gas and can not get it started. I have replaced the points, plugs, condenser and coil but am still not getting any fire to the distributor. Any suggestions.

Welcome Tom Wells

Do you mean you have no spark with the coil wire "safely" held above a good ground point and the engine turning over?
Do you have power to the coil?

remove the cap from the distributor and operate the starter. When the engine is turning the rotor inside of the dist will turn as well. If the rotor does not turn you have a problem.

first make sure u are getting fire to the coil and after u know u are getting fire to the coil then make sure u get fire going from the coil to the distrubtor not the distrubtor cap if u get it there pull the distrubitor cap and rotor and plate of and check your gap on the points and with all that off then the tractor over and make sure ur point or firing u will have a problem some where in that line most likely

yep.. ressitor wire may have let go.. or key switch is bad. can always jump from bat to coil to check this.
