LT1 no start

What happens is, the two small plastic pegs that the two pieces of the metal blade on the rotor in place break. If your lucky, that is all that tore up. May need a new cap also.
I drilled the two small plastic pegs holding them on a stock rotor with a 1/8" drill, ant put them back on with two long 1/8" pop rivets. Made several 8000+ RPM passes that way with zero problems.

Since then, MSD came out with a cap and rotor. They use two brass screws to hold it together. Might check into that. Pretty red parts.
