> All, vis a vis the prince of darkness, following my full resto I have had
two AAA flat bed deals, and three new rotors - all different in appearance and
apparently manufacturers.

> The message - BEWARE current rotor quality - BIG TIME.
> They seems to be breaking down all over the place - ie ht at the disti cap
input, but no ht at the output to the plugs.  Rumor has it that the compound
is bad and breaking down and allowing a short to ground - once the path is
there the rotor is shot.  Ususally invisible to the eye.

> My third rotor seems to be fine so far - 300 miles-ish and no flat beds.

> And of course a spare in the glove box.  Fingers crossed....

> Rotors are cheaper than coils ..... but coils can fail also.
