MSD SC rotor mod

[wolds]

Just to be clear I'm not having any tach issues with my car. I am being preemptive by using a non-resistor rotor. I have seen plenty of theads on the subject of resistor rotors. The nail in the coffin was that MSD does not reccomend the use of resistor rotors so why take a chance? Warren

I am changing mine out ASAP to non-resistor.

I am sure I read the warning years ago but assumed that I did not have a resistor rotor.

I have been looking for my old spare to test ohms to be sure. It should show some resistance, right? I sounds reasonable but anytime I think I know what is going on with electricity.............

I'm good to go, picked up 2 on Amazon.com. FYI, when I called Napa regarding the EP407 the picture in their database showed a resistor type rotor. Not sure what you will get if you order one. Warren

FWIW, this part is not something the local stores have. I wanted to get a couple and went online to try to have the parts shipped to my neighborhood store. It was going to be a $10 transfer fee from two different stores so they suggested it would be cheaper just to buy it online and have it shipped to my house.

Here is a picture of the Echlin #EP407.



I also found this as well... wonder if it would work? But it is bit pricey...

It sure would be great if Pelican carried a bona fide resistor-less rotor.

Thanks!

Just ordered a few from NAPA. $5 each and a few bucks shipping from their (I think) hub in Richmond VA.

Interesting how many cars run this rotor. Look under more applications if interested.
