It's running!!!! Not completely sure what the major malfunction was but I'm leaning towards either the condenser wire or the wire to the coil possibly touching ground as to why the new points would not fire. (Nothing else seems to make and sense) Still not sure why it wouldn't run with the old points after I got a spark back. After the second time of finding #1 TDC and wiring the plug wires in the proper sequence, it fired and ran like a champ, with the new points too I might add. Checked the timing and found it dead on at 5 degrees BTDC. I like plowing snow with my GMC rather than my Farmall because it has a heater.
