[Spencer Yost]

I have also seen parts houses mix up 800/600/NAA/9-8-2n stuff pretty regularly.

May not even be the right part.

Thought this was odd, so I pulled of distributer cap, and found the new rotor in multiple pieces. First time in 50 some years I have seen that. Tried old rotor but still not spark coming to plugs.
