‘49 8N Ignition Problem

[Falcocaster]

First time poster and 8N new guy here. I’ve been reading through old threads for awhile, but need a little specific help.

I was recently given a ‘49 8N that has been sitting for 2 years. Previous owner says it was running about 2 years ago before being parked. It does have 12V conversion. I’ve completed basic maintenance….fluids, filters, plugs, points, etc… It turns over fine, but will not start. Appears to be an ignition issue….no spark and ammeter does not move while cranking.

I have replaced points, plugs, and distributer cap, but see no change.

With 12.6V at the battery, I am getting ~10V at the termination on the coil.

The coil itself measures 0.6 ohms.

These photos show the wiring setup. It’s dirty, but I am getting continuity throughout the circuit.

Any recommendation as to where to go next?

Appreciate the help in advance!

Did you clean the new points?

Did you clean the new points?

I did not. Is that normally needed? Contact cleaner?

Yes now days points come with a protective coating on them that need to be cleaned off. Best way to do so is use a business card or other such thing and run it between the points when there closed
