OK I can report back a little now. As I said before, in my car, is that the spark is working its way through the casing of the rotor and grounding on the distributor drive. I cannot find a crack (eve

That smaller rotor is just plain wrong for that cap. Of course it doesn't work right. Rick San Diego.

But it is what most vendors send you when you order a cap for a 6 cylinder BTW I went ahead and put everything, with the pictures on my website to make things easier. Just click on http://Austin-Heal

Well, they are sending the wrong part for your cap. Axe them if they have another rotor spec... Or get one that is the same brand as your cap. I'm still using an ancient Lucas cap and rotor. I just g

I agree with Rick - the 'green box' rotor that you were sent is for another Lucas distributor - it's way to short. Looks suspiciously like the ones I used to use in my MGB distributor, but I can't t

The rotor you describe as new, longer, looks just like what normally comes in the green Lucas box, including the "remove to oil". The rotor on a four cylinder is about 7/8" from center to tip. If yo

Well, I guess a "nevermind" is in order. It is obvious that every rotor that has been in my car has been incorrect. The strange thing is that they are coming from different sources, and different peo

Earlier this week, I purchased two Standard Motor Prod. (Blue Streak) rotors, part No. LU300. (Made in Germany) Has enyone had any experience with this style rotor? Terry Blubaugh

I think that you will find that the LU300 rotor is the one that I have been using that is causing my troubles. That is the number on the box of CarQuest rotors I have here, and is identical to every

Well, some vendors are selling an incorrect Lucas boxed rotor as fitting a Big Healey. I'll just have to see if these hold up. I did find a NOS parts guy who has 60 Standard brand rotors for the bog

Good, I think you now know how to identify the correct rotor length, which should eliminate most of the problems. However, not all replacement rotors of the "correct length" are actually the "same"

I've found a supplier of Lucas rotors at "vintagemotorspares.com" I have not dealt with them so don't know if they really have all items in stock, if they are as advertised etc. but they might be wor
