Once you find your problem and have the engine running may I suggest you find a Ford coil as shown in deuce lover photos and have it rebuilt by Skip or send your entire distributor, coil and condenser to Skip or Bubba for rebuild. Remove the resistor under the dash and turn it around so heat generated by the resistor does not fry the wires to the resistor. Clean all the hardware and connection points used to mount the resistor before reinstalling. These simple projects should keep the ignition system in better working shape. A 6 volt ignition system does not work well with loose, rusted and corroded hardware.
