Look in the Ignition section on the Technical page of my site for two
articles on rotors.

Subject: [Healeys] Bad ign rotors

I recall that there were bad ign rotors in production some time ago.  How
can
they be identified?  Suggestions on good rotors?

I have been chasing down a ign miss on our Bugeye.  When I connected a
jumper
wire from the coil (H.T), held the end close to the rotor and turned the
ignition- I got a strong spark.  The rotor is grounding through the dist
body.
And it shouldn't ever spark. I'm correct here, right?
