If this is also what the meter reads when the probes aren't touching 
anything, then this rotor is bad. As a test, the type 3 rotor may 
fit, but I'm not sure about that.

As Keith has suggested, you should just sell him the type 4 dist 
after I rebuild your type 3 dist. Otherwise, you're just going to be 
in a state of not knowing which direction your problem lies in. At 
least selling this dist will minimize your costs.
