Haven't got much to add to this one except two observations:-
1) We all know that a green box is no guarantee of quality these days.
2) The red rotors apparently originated from the Distributor Doctor, who can
sell you everything you need. They were/are a success and, as such, are now
being copied by the usual types.
See:-

But you knew all that already.....

Subject: [Healeys] 100-6 ignition
What does the list recommend for replacement of ignition parts on a very
original 100-6?
I looked at Moss' offering and they have steel core wire and Lucas caps to snap
onto the spark plugs. Does the steel core matter? It doesn't sound like a
good conductor. The bumble bee wire is copper core, but it doesn't look
original.
The dizzy cap seems to be in good shape, so I will reuse that.
I'm figuring on using a red rotor.
Condensers have not been of good quality lately. Moss offers Lucas,
Intermotor, and a more expensive premium one. Is the premium one better, or
just more expensive?
I was also planning to use a Lucas point set, though the aftermarket set is 1/3
the price. Is any of this Lucas stuff near the quality of the original Lucas
items, and worth paying more for? Perhaps there are better alternatives from
other sources.
No, I don't want to use a Pertronix Igniter.
Thanks for all of your help.
Charlie
