Ken,
I had the same problem as you described below of the rotor breaking In my
case I believe the contact plate jumped upward enough to cause the optical
sensor to contact the rotor. My solution was to file the underside of the
rotor to make more clearance. That stopped that problem. I've since gone to
the Pertronix ignitor which uses the Hall effect sensor and haven't had any
problems with parts flying into each other. The ignitor has been known to
fail completely, however,so I carry a spare set of points.
Still Learning,
Jeff Johnson
