I have a 1951 Farmall C that I am working on. It had set for a long time but engine was free. I put a new set of points and condenser in and found out I had fire at the plugs. I pulled the tractor and got it started after about 50 foot however it was running really bad.I then decided to remove the spark plugs and regapped them and figured out that the sparkplug wires were in the wrong order based on the firing ordere found on the side of the engine which is 1,3,4,2. I put the wires in order assuming the front of the engine (towards the radiator is one. Now I pull the tractor and it wont fire at all. I still have spark at the plugs and am getting gas to the carb. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. When I pull the tractor I am getting gas comeing out of the exhaust pipe.
