Is thre anyone have experiance w/ melted distributor rotor? I have 2.0 motor with MSD 6AL and SS blaster coil, I drive for 100miles but suddenly engine stop, I check for ignition but no FIRE. I check for distributor and it shown melted rotor. I change w/ new rotor but when 100miles it happen again. Distributor its self is original BOSCH. Anyone know which rotor that fit w/ bosch and can hold MSD fire?

Also keep in mind that Jakarta is always hot and humid, so all of the above mentioned factors are critical due to the moisture content in the air. We've shown that the humidity in the southern US can rot these cars and create additional headaches with the electrical. That's another reason that you want a Bosch part in a Bosch distributor in your region, as the tollerances are tighter with the OEM (not always the case since the mid-80's).

Are you using the car as a daily driver locally? If so, rethink how you want the electrical to be exposed to this climate on a daily basis.

My experience is on older cars driven in Penang, Singapore, Guam and Korea - so your local weather is a bit different.

Good Luck
