Are you running cap and rotor from Blue Streak? Would be curious to see if
their rotor should be used with their cap or caps have the same variance.

Sorry for the typos.
I'll try again.
Dan Walters discovered a strange parts problem that might
effect any of us.
When trying to trace an engine misfire, we were about to
replace a rotor when
Dan noticed that the two looked different. He "chucked" a
rod the size of a
distributor shaft into the lathe and placed the black rotor
on it. It fit
snugly. Then he moved a cutting tool so that it just made
contact with the tip
of the rotor.
(you can see pictures on the CAT Forum
http://www.catmbr.org/VB_forum/showthread.php?p=310#post310 )
He replaced
rotor with a blue one. The tool was not moved. There was a large
gap between
the tip of the rotor and the tool. The gap measured .084".
Has anyone else
noticed variations in rotor sizes supplied for Ford
distributors?
