Ford 8N / Deland, FL - looking for guidance - please

Hello from Deland, FL. We have a 1947 (??) Ford 8N, with a front mounted distributor (unfortunately). She is running, however she pops-n-spits at high RPM. I have changed or tinkered with the plugs, points/condenser, put a Chinese carburetor on, plus several other parts. I feel as though she needs a little tweaking here and there, but nothing too serious. I am frustrated with her and refuse to guess and continue to throw parts at her. I am looking for a mentor (mechanic), an 8N enthusiast, who is willing to assist me, help me learn, with the goal of getting this hobby-tractor up and running. I can trailer the tractor. Was hoping to find someone in the Deland area, or within ~ 50 miles of Deland or Orlando. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you. Gerald Lane. Cell; (407) 404-1986.
