[Healeys] Rotors - it happened ....

[David Nock]

I am starting to think that some of these rotor failures is possible  
caused by the electronic ignition. The rotors sometimes dont go on  
and bottom out thus causing the rotor to sit against the cap. Also I   
have not had a rotor problem with any of the cars that we maintain  
that are running stock ignition systems.
