Chris---Some generic rotors don't seat well onto the distributor shaft. Too loose, and they can drift up and run into the cap terminals, which can shear the rotor key. Too tight and they won't go down far enough, which can lead to the same result. If the key in your old rotor was sheared, look for signs of this under the cap. Also look for pieces down under the points plate, which can interfere with the centrifugal advance movement. Glad it was something "simple". Dick |
