If you used a different rotor on each distributor I would tend to agree with
you, Pull the coil wire from the distributor and see if you can get spark,
my next guess would be a problem with the coil wire. But I would try the
first suggestion just since its fast and simple, and if you get spark there
its got to be a bad rotor (or two)
