I'm experiencing a fairly common problem which is 3 broken rotor buttons in
4-5K miles. I've checked the shaft for any signs of wobble and it is pretty
snug with very little play, but it turns freely. The dist cap contacts are
also grooved at the rotor contact points. It's done this with the Moss dist
cap (not Lucas) and an Elgin (I think) from Napa and three different brands of
rotors. Would incorrect shimming of the dist pedestal cause this?
Also when wiring the points do the wires from the condenser and and the other
wire which goes to the neg side of the coil, fit between the nylon bushing and
the spring of the points. Both wires making contact to the point spring but
insulated to the nut.
TIA and Happy Thanksgiving!
