I thought I would share my rotor story our 28 has always ran good until a condenser went bad last week got a new one from snyders and thats all fixed but I could not get the car to idle as low or smooth as it should after hours of playing with the points switching and cleaning all the old spark plugs.had the carb apart 3 times even switched coils than I tried a old rotor thats been under the seat probley 60 years and what a difference! it idles down nice and low and smooth! the old rotor looks good. never seen this problem before, I would never have replaced it but I tried everything else and it was there.
