Not all forms of vintage racing allow modern parts to be used. Back in he mid '80s when I raced at the Monterey Historics with my '57 TR3, we had to use period tires as well. And aftermarket ignition

The distributor cap problem is one we're familiar with at British Pacific. Having proper new ones made to a better quality standard is really hard, since the top manufacturers don't see the volume in

British Pacific can concur that there are bad rotors out there. We've run into it several times with V8 Rovers. The problems began with Lucas selling out to Marelli, who in turn sold the line to Dens
