[AT] 6-volt distrubtor ignition

[charlie hill]

Kyle I spent a half hour or so a few years back trying to figure out why I 
had on spark at the plugs of one of my tractors.  I finally got it to spark 
and run after I pulled the plug wires out of the distributor cap and cleaned 
the ends of the wires and the inside of the cap with emory cloth.    The 
moral of this story is check and clean all grounds and all connections. 
The corrosion is not always visible.
