This will be three rotor buttons replaced in a short period time. What is the possible causes for this? Just about ready to put the old girl on the highway and let somebody else deal with her!

Not to sound stupid, but what's a rotor button? Pics would be helpful or a better idea of what you're talking about.

Aside from using the wrong parts, play in the distributor shaft would be my guess.

Thanks, I'm going with the screws backing out for now, going to add a little loctite and see how that works.

Thanks for the replies
