How do I know if my rotor is shot?
I have an Accel Cap and rotor and MSD 6AL and the cap looks fine so goes the rotor but instead of the brass piece its black Normal?

Mine was a little black when it burned out. Just replace it. It's only a $5 part. If your car has been running like crap, mileage is half of what it normally is, and it acts like it's missing, it's likely to be the rotor.

It shouldnt be black. Black and/or green is carbon tracks.. Is it really burned where it contacts the center of the cap or just a little bit of black dust on there? If its just dust, try wiping it off and clean the terminals on the inside of the cap with a little bit of sandpaper, and make sure all the wires are on all the way.
If its burned bad, replace it.
