Does this mean either type is ok for the 47 crab as long as you run the right rotor for a given cap?

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes
I'll check that next with my old Simpson analog meter. Thanks. Points are new and set up on a Sun machine but still could be the problem.

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes
I put a jumper between the neg battery post and the neg side of coil. Still no spark. It's frustrating because the system is so simple. I am looking to the cap and rotor next.

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes
We checked for a fuel problem and getting a squirt. No spark though. Next time we take it out, I am bringing a hotwire and a multimeter. Thanks!

Re: 40 Ford Ignition Woes
It's a crab distributor. I think the resistor has been bypassed. I will have my son check it out tonight. Will let you know what we find. Thanks!

My son bought a 40 Ford truck with a 59A flathead. It wasn't running when he got it. I put new points in it on my Sun machine and set the dwell. It started right up and ran well. We went for a ride...
