Looks like there are still a few of those bad rotors out there.

Yep - the rotor is missing a rivet and I imagine it was machined up quite
nicely by the whirling bits under the point plate.

Tore it down completely, cleaned it up and gave it a good lube before
reassembly.  There were a ton of filings in there as the distributor
housing is softer than the rivet and it took a beating.

All is good and running well. With all the shavings that were around the
points - I'm amazed the car still ran.
