Subject: Cracked distributor rotor- need suggestions on a replacement

My 02's been jumping around when idling. I've had the leads pulled off and tested, seems they're fine.

When I pulled off the distributor cap, I noticed the rotor is crackedwhere the contact sits. Could this be what's causing the problem?

I'm going to replace the rotor anyway, can anyone suggest a suitable replacement rotor that won't break the bank, such as a Bosch?

My 02's a December '73 model, with square lights.

Just replaced my rotor at a total cost of $4.95. Probably one of the cheapest parts you can buy for your 02!! Bought mine from Bavarian Autosport but you can get them almost anywhere. _________________ 74 Tii 01 S2000 06 Tacoma "Why Johnny Ringo, looks like somebody just walked ova your grave" -Tombstone-Val Kilmer

Any suggestions which would be better? The first one looks more like the one I pulled out.

Cheers

I had the second one which is the plain jane that and not with the limiter. I would recommend replacing with the same design you currently have if you were happy with the performance prior to it cracking.

I think I'll go for the plain version, I'm not sure I need the addition of the rev limiter. Thanks everyone _________________ 1973 Chamonix auto squarie
