In the form of a spare rotor.
The Red Beast QUIT on me at a stoplight this morning. The person behind me had left enough room (A MIRACLE!) for a backwards coast to the curb. I had the comforting thump of the recently rebuilt fuel pump and a full fuel filter. I had a nice 3/8" spark from the coil. What I didn't have was any spark to the sparkplugs. After a short hike I liberated the cap and rotor from my Van and installed them, fired right up!
The test drive after my ordeal included a stop at Autosport. Sure enough the Lucas rotors have been problematic for them too. The voltage from the coil tower fails to make the turn via the rotor out to the plug towers. It just shoots straight to the nearest ground, the distributor shaft.
Carry a spare! Don
