Question.  Do you have factory ignition - points/condenser/etc - or do you
have aftermarket form of ignition.

This is the same "Bosch" rotor that i had 2 years ago and 3 failed on
the same trip to Conclave in DC. The box does say Bosch, but as I
remember it was "made for" not by Bosch.
I am now using a rotor from AH Spares and my failure rate has been
MUCH improved. Not 100% but maybe 1 per year.
