I have put new and old rotors in. Had many problems with my TR6 with bad (new)
rotors. I have a pertronix for it but its still in the box. :o(

Oh, and one more thing. I had a problem with the 3 running like crap.
changed everything, and finally wound up changing the rotor for a third time.
Problem was, even the new rotors I'd gotten were crap. Thing didn't work
right until I swapped out for a quarter century old rotor that came with the
car that I'd kept as a spare. ...One of the reasons I switched to a
Pertrinox.
