Hey,
I hope someone can help out with this one. As I was driving home today my car started bopping and snarling (miss firing).... When I got I home I tightened the plugs (They were lose) and pulled the rotor cap off and found a burnt up rotor button as shown...could load photo...bummer Has anybody experienced this before? If so, what is causing it and how do you fix it? Engine Details: 2.5L Four 44 Webers MSD box & Coil & Wires Engine no longer has points, I can't remember the brand name of the electronic points Thanks, Russ turpin0801@aol.com 803-606-7269 |

QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Apr 10 2010, 10:51 AM)  IME, cap and rotor life are severely compromised when an HE ignition setup is used. Yup, I agree. They were designed for good ol' Kettering ignition and are not designed for HE. CARRY SPARES. |
