Thanks Phil,

I emailed Vintage... here is the what they said.

***
I purchased a Pertronix EI Conversion Kit #1581from
you last spring. I'm planning a tune-up this spring and
need another rotor. I assume I'll need a similar rotor
that came in the kit. Can I buy one from you guys?

If so... please provide part#, price and ordering info.

Their response...

Joe,

Is there a problem with your existing rotor? I'd be very surprised if
there is after just one season. I'd suggest just inspecting it. At
worst there might be a little discoloring at the electrode or just a
hint of corrosion which could be readily scraped off.

Yes, we do offer a replacement rotor, p/n 1581R, $7.50, free shipping,
if you really need one.

Hope that helps.

What distributor do you have. You can use the vintage performance website to find out which pertronix you have and go from there.

If you have the prestolite with clip down cap you have the #1581 kit.

You're welcome Phil,

Glad I could help. These guys have helped me out a ton over the past 2 years, so I'm glad I could give back in my own small way.

Have fun.

Joe
