I just put a solid-state ignition kit (uses a magnet actuated device vs. mechanical points that wear out) on my '50 8N tractor (same engine as in GPWs) and it runs a lot smoother, cranks quicker, and has more torque.

and thanks, too, cgarbee. It was a miracle from god when you got into these m37s...
9 Children? You can start running a family bus service now, or, err... your sons, that is. That, sir, is a fine lookin' truck. enjoy it!
