Rotor and Cap Continuity?

I like what TrailBeast said in this post. Not sure I will go the route of reducing gap between rotor and s/p tab under cap. Car died last Sunday, pulled distro, (no vacuum control, mechanical vacuum OK), installed re-manufactured distro, replaced points w/ better quality, set points 0.20 in, installed same distro and rotor, fired up and idles nicely. Dwell = 43 deg, timing=8 deg BTDC. Go figure.

Happy camper, love my Dodge Dart 270, SL-6.

Thx guys...A-Body Forum the best
