According to my friend Peter who owns World Wide Import Auto parts of Madison, 
WI, the Lucas distributor rotors for TR6's as well as the TRactor engines have 
been no good for the last couple of years. They fail frequently, and typically 
without warning. If that is all that you have, be sure to carry spares. Peter 
carries another brand for those cars, and he says they have been working well.
