Tune up part numbers

[Jason S.]

While the weather was nasty outside today I thought I would compile a list of part numbers for TO20's and TO30's using a Delco distributor. These are Borg Warner and Napa part numbers. There are cheaper versions of these parts available but I will not use them and I encourage others not to use them as you will only have problems.

Distributor cap: Borg Warner C150, Napa RR145
Rotor button: Borg Warner D10, Napa RR83
Heavy Duty Points: Borg Warner A40H, Napa CS763A
Regular points: Borg Warner A40V, Napa CS63A
Condensor: Borg Warner G102A, RR174
6 volt coil: Borg Warner E1, Napa IC7

If you want premium Blue Streak points and condenser their part number is
Standard Points: DR2227XP
Standard Condensor : DR60

Walker brand carburetor kit is: 778-505A

Borg Warner A40H

Blue Streak DR2227XP


I did this because I didn't see a parts compilation on the Ferguson board anywhere for local parts stores.

Thank you for the effort!
Time to find the print button...

I should have added that the Borg Warner stuff is available at Oreilly Auto Parts. For the Blue Streak stuff, luckily here we have a mom and pop auto parts store that stocks that stuff. He even stocks 0 gauge battery cables! I made this list so people might be able to find quality parts at a place close to them. The points that TSC and places sell are Tisco and they are garbage. I have a rule of thumb. If you buy points and don"t see no copper, don"t use them. I think a lot of times people blame the spark plugs for misfires, but they never think about the cheap points and condensor they installed, or the distributor cap with aluminum contacts instead of brass. It does make a difference.

I"ll add a few more things. Spark plugs should be a non resistor plug. If you are not working the tractor continuously or putting it under hard loads then you may want to move up to a hotter spark plug but stay with non resistor plugs.

Champion recommended originally from what I have looked up a D16 spark plug. Most of their catalogs now recommend a D18 as the standard spark plug. If you run it with light loads or if you have an oil burner you may want to go a D21 Champion which is hotter than the D18.

Autolite plug is a 3116. Some will say a 386 is recommended but it is a resistor plug. Autolite doesn"t have many choices for a non resistor plug. At one time they made a 3118 which is hotter than the 3116 but in my latest search I did not find those anymore.

AC Delco offers a C85S which is non resistor but the C88L is resistor.

Or delete all that ancient stuff like the points and condenser and install Pertronix electronic ignition and never have to do all that stuff again!
 

[Jason S.]

Even if you install Pertronix, it is wise to carry your old points
with you because Pertronix can fail and if you have your old
points you can swap them out and fire it back up. Yes I did
have a Pertronix go out in a truck of mine, right in the middle of
town. All the Pertronix in the world still won't fix cheap
distributor caps, cheap coils, cheap wires, and etc... I have
nothing against converting them over to electronic. But I do
think that points have gotten a bad rap because of some of the
cheap sets on the market today. I have seen cheap sets that
didn't last 2 weeks. That blue streak set in the picture is in my
tractor, and that tractor does all the plowing,
disking,cultivating,raking hay,sickle mowing but never once
have I had to change the points out. I guess I'm kind of old
school though, my tractor is still 6 volts and I intend on leaving
it 6 volt. But for someone who doesn't have access to a quality
point set, I would recommend changing it to Pertronix.

The points aer the same as a 6 cyl chevy from the 60s most parts people cant find if no on a computer
