Re: 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.

Re: LT1 no start
No problem, Ed. Thanks for responding.
I will likely get it apart tomorrow, so I'll let you guys know what I find. For info, is the correct MSD part number 84811 for the cap and rotor kit for the 98 LT1 ? John |

Re: LT1 no start
Thanks Rob, Mine is of the 95-97 vintage,
Also, Dyno and Ed.......your diagnosis was right on. The rotor is shattered and it banged up the cap as well. Thanks for your help. John |

Re: LT1 no start
I would break one and bring it back to the dealer for a new one the next Monday. After three times, they would not warranty it any longer, so I had to fix it. Glad you found it. Dyno
