won't start

[Anonymous-0]

I recently restored a j.d model A 1950 last year. When i tried to start it up after the winter it wouldn't start. It would turn over but not catch.I checked the distributor, found a little water in it ,cleaned and dried that out checked the points noticed sparks, checked the plugs found only one side was getting sparks.What's my next step? Also checked the wires both o.k. Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Sounds like there's a carbon track or a crack from the terminal on the cap feeding the non-firing plug shorting the spark to the metal distributor housing.
