    My dad refreshed the engine and it ran good other than the rear seal leaking oil. He finally got that fixed and converted it to the Pertronix. I’ll tell him to check the valves, Do you by chance know what the lash should be?

    No compression on those 2 cylinders. The new head gasket looked great pistons and rings look great. Any suggestions on what else to look at?

    We unhooked it but it has I guess a factory one behind the steering column. Solenoid key switch and all of that runs to it, Can you explain more I’m thinking something to do with this is the issue. Thanks

    Well researching said gap them 0.40-0.50 for optimum performance so we just tried it maybe the source was wrong. I’ll check this thank you

    It was converted to 12v. tractor has been in the family for years. Gapped the new plugs to 0.45 and it wouldn’t run had to set them at 0.25. Haven’t had the distributor out or messed with carb

    Ford 800 gas 172 no power after electronic ignition

    Hey guys we recently changed over 63 ford 800 gas tractor to pertronix electronic ignition with recommended wires cap and plugs. Now tractor doesn’t have any power under load. Put it in gear under a load and it bogs down. Any ideas?
