[Ford-ferguson] Hot missing

[Mike Sloane]

Sad to say, those symptoms are pretty much typical of either a bad 
condenser or bad coil. Try replacing the condenser first, and if that 
doesn't work, then it is likely the coil. Either way, you need to pull 
the distributor, and I don't know of any good way to test either 
component without trying a replacement known good one and running it for 
an hour.
