Have an old tractor. I didn稚 have a chance to look at it just yet other then to move it before I left for 3 weeks. But I notice there痴 no power to the positive side of the coil. The inline fuel pump that connects to the positive terminal of the coil, and the wire also connecting to the positive terminal of the coil coming through the voltage regulator does not have power. I had to run the fuel pump from the battery post as well as a wire to the coil to move it out of the way. It cranks over but because no power going there unless it痴 straight to the battery it won稚 start.

A lot of those old Chrysler flatheads were positive ground. Just a thought.

check both sides of the coil with key on. one should be hot. pull the cap and see if there is spark between the points when you manualy operate them.

btw if there is a point issue replace the points with a Pertronix conversion. last problem you will have with that
