Re: What causes a distributor rotor center tab to burn through?

On this distributor there is no ground strap to put under the coil. I understand some distributors have that. The ground is through the wires on top like in this picture from the top of the coil. Can't be Old parts/lack of maintenance/ lots of miles, I'm talking about having just replaced the rotor cap, button, etc. a few miles ago (maybe 50 or 100). So trying to figure out what went wrong. Hasn't given me this trouble before, it is a sudden malfunction.
