It looks more like the CS725 points would work, but I am not even close to an expert.

Well, that's exactly what my distributor is..Autolite 1AT-4007 8E. My mechanic said that the NAPA CS851 points would not fit however.

It might not. I'll have to look tonight.

The CS851 points were not the right fit, however the rotor and cap seem to work. Is that possible?

I have a 1951 Henry J. It is a 6 cylinder. It won't start and we seem to have it narrowed down to the distributor, points, spark plugs and all of that. What are the replacement parts I need from like a NAPA or similar store?

Thanks. Planning on replacing that stuff. Would my local NAPA have all of that?

After many trial and errors and testing. I think we have come to the conclusion that the spark is poor. We have sanded contact points and made sure the wires were OK. Would replacing the distributor and all of that fix the problem? That is kind of where we are headed next I guess.

It is a manual choke.

I replaced the solenoid and they cleaned up the starter and put new brushes in it. Now it really wants to go, it's even "coughed" a few times, but it just won't go. There is spark. I disconnected the fuel line at the carb and it sure seems like plenty of gas is coming out, so that leads me to believe that it is something in the carb. Is this a good assumption?

I'd say it tried to start. Are we looking at a carburetor problem?

Everything looks to be good as far as the electrical system goes. The engine is trying to turn over but won't fire up. What's my next step?

Starter would not spin. Guessing it must be the starter. I took it off and took it to my local electric motor shop.

I have an autolite starter. Nothing happens when I ground the solenoid.

When I push my starter button nothing happens. The battery has a good charge. Is the starter bad?
