Hey guys, I replaced my spark plugs not too long ago, wires too and cap, but I couldn't replace my rotor. I was at Advance, tried 2 of their BWD brand rotors, and a Motorcraft one, and none of them fit, they seat into the dist very well, and when I start the truck they break inside the cap.

I have a '91 300, is there a different rotor I can try that'll work? My current one looks really worn out

 

Go to BWD's website or Ford's website and look up the part number for yourself and reference it back to the BWD or Motorcraft part. Advance is known from time to time to have the incorrect part number in their parts lookup. Once you have the part number in hand, go back to Advance and get them to look up or order that specific part number for you. Also, from an installation perspective, make sure you pushed it down all the way.

I love BWD parts, but after my latest episode, I now only use Motorcraft rotors.

Thanks for the links. I've tried pushing it down as far as it'll go, to the point the plastic starts flexing so I figured it was all the way on... I was wrong

 

Should just slide on easily bro. Check the post in your distributor and make sure it is not monkeyed up. Should have to push to hard. Might want to consider and MSD cap and rotor kit as well if you can afford one.

 

Distributor and all should be good. My old button goes on no problems, which is why it's so weird the new ones won't

 

hmmm i have the same problem on my f150 i boke rotor and cap on hiway ,put in new dist and new bwd rotor and cap blew apart in 5 minutes was told it is my cam bearings

 

DO NOT use a BWD cap and rotor on your truck. They are worthless and will cause you more problems then they are worth. MSD or Motorcraft is what you want.

 

Ha cam bearings...lol. Its not that. It's the wrong parts or your dist cap isnt seated down on the distributor right.

 

x2 on the MSD cap and rotor, i am happy with how easily it all went in and no problems so far. guna put about 100 miles on it tomorrow so hope nothing happens lol.

 

How much fid the whole msd setup run you?
