For those who were here for CubFest Northeast NB 2009, y'all got to see Gord's H that he grew up with. Was his father's. Now it kind of boards here since I actually have some room for the H to play in. Gord is getting it running again. We have had sort of a mini-fest here the last couple days. After watching Cecil, Bob and Dave, I got me some courage, so we are playing. Redid all of the fuel lines as they were primarily copper and a mess at that. Pics in a bit..... So we got the battery in, fluids changed/added/topped up etc., and then we turned it over. Nada, nuddink.. zippo
So back to drawing board and check for Fuel, Air, Compression and Spark. Yup, got em all 
except for mr. Sparky. Tested the spark with an in-line spark tester and nada.. nothing there. So popped the distributor cap, dry, clean no arcing marks. Took off the rotor and dust cover.. gee that was easy..
and then started to check the points. Manually opened them, they looked ok.. no glazing. So then had Gord turn it over slowly so I could watch the shaft as it brought the lobe up to open the points. Nope.. points no open. Check closely - no gap, go to next lobe - nope no open. Off the top of me head the number 0.015 seems to ring a bell. Is 0.015 the correct gap for the points in an H with a distributor
No service manual.. no owner's manual available that is easily accessible.. so any help is appreciated. I think we got it all covered except for spark. Hoping to get it going tomorrow. Now the Super A well that is a different story.... 
edit: It has been determined that Gord's tractor is actually a 1947 H and not a Super variant. However, it is still a Super - "H" in my books
not yet.... Gord had a few appointments today. Hopefully at some point tomorrow or the weekend.
and look forward to the pics to,,,,,,,, I am grinning a bit here on account of thr emery board trick Ive done the sand paper on points thing many many times one day I may just buy a points file
