[Ford-ferguson] Hot missing

[Bob W]

I had a similar problem with my 8N front distributor. It would run OK but if
I stopped it when it was hot nothing would start it until the coil cooled
down. A new coil solved it for me.

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.
