 Get the Pertronix. The 123 doesn't have the proper advance curve for the Lotus 907. If you need a new distributor get a rebuild from the club store.

In the mean time, replace your rotor.

High energy ignition like my MSD and Blaster coil setup can burn a carbon track through the rotor. It happened to me three times.

Then I got a rotor from Jeff Schlimmer at Advanced Distributors. It's a quality part, unlike the Lucas rotors.

Also watch this videoon adjusting the Allison/ Crane ignition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmp8QimgGkI

What he doesn't tell you is that if you buy aftermarket distributor caps, the bumps inside the cap foul the electric eye and proper adjustment is impossible.
