I have never had a 3 or 4 rotor failure but I did have a failure on my 
6. I keep spares in the trunk of every car along with a coil.


Not saying that this is your problem, but a bad condenser can keep  
plugs from firing. Early on I was going through condensers frequently 
enough that I carried tools and a couple spare condensers in easy reach. 
When the engine sputtered to a stop, a quick swap and I was back on my 
way. Seems the distributor was not making a good ground to the engine. 
Who  guessed. The cure was adding a ground wire from the side of the 
distributor to a good engine ground. Never had a failure since.
