Bert: Not to worry. You are not the only one to experience this. I watched
a segment of the Boyd Coddington (hot rod builder, August 28, 1944 -
February 27, 2008) TV show as he and his crew tried to start a new engine.
They cranked and cranked and stood around scratching their heads until
someone removed the distributor cap to discover - no rotor. If it can
happen to the famous pros, it can happen to us lesser mortals.

.....I pushed the button, cranked the engine... no ignition... pulled a
plug, no spark. I knew the last thing I did was checking the points so I
pulled the distributor cap.... we checked that the points were sparking,
till we realized the rotor was gone! I had pulled it out when
checking/gapping the points the day before and forgot to put it back. I know
I'll have to hear this for the rest of my life (specially from my neighbor
Yancey!) but we had a good laugh! A friday funny Healey comedy classic and
a lesson learned that a small dollar part missing or broken can have you
stranded.
