Hi Don,
This is what I have been running in my TR6 without problem. The only
time I broke a rotor was when I didn't have the distributor cap properly
seated. I don't know if these stores are in your area but your's should
be able to cross reference.
Points - Allied Auto Parts - Standard Blue Streak part# LU1617XP
Condenser - Advance Auto Parts - Wells part# LU506
Rotor - Advance Auto Parts - Beck/Arnley part# 174-0224
Distributor cap - Advance Auto Parts - Sorensen part# 23-5001
Plugs - Advance Auto Parts - NGK BPR6ES
It is also my understanding that NAPA carries the Echlin ignition
products.
Good luck,
