1988 TC Rotor and Cap Quandry (Help)

Hey all,

Yesterday I was doing a complete tune-up on my 1988 TC. I used nothing but OEM Motorcraft parts.

While changing the Cap and attempting to replace the rotor...I noticed that the rotor was nothing like any rotor I've ever encountered before. Keep in mind , on on my 3rd 1988 TC since 1988.

The rotor I got from Ford/Motorcraft was your standard pull off / push-on style....however , when I opened up the dizzy cap that's on the car , I found a rotor of oval design , that is secured with two screws. What the heck do i do now?

Does anyone have a P/N and a source for this odd-ball rotor?

HELP !!!!!!

Sounds like someone replaced the distributor with one from an 86 or earlier 2.3.

To elaborate a little, there are two different types of rotors: the push on, and the screw on. Just take the wrong one back and explain what you need. FWIW, I've never had a problem obtaining the correct one.

HTH

Thanks for the replies.

BTW...I had a spare 2.3L from an 87 model laying around...and it had the push/pull rotor on it.

Things are squared away now...and the car with 146k on it runs like a top.

I have two other concerns that I'll post about later.

Many thanks Gents!
