In Reply to: OT S-10 Dist Cap posted by fixerupper on October 03, 2007 at 11:01:38:
Does the cap crack up the side ? I had one engine where the aluminum dist housing was apparently machined a bit oversize. The cap was a very tight fit and expansion of the dist housing when it heated up was enough to split the cap. The fix was to use a die grinder to slightly grind away the distributor where the cap touched the housing. Try a NAPA cap, great quality plastic with all brass terminals. If it cracks between terminals,then I would bet Allen is right that the distributor is not venting ozone or moisture and flashing over at the terminals.
I have seen drag cars with killer race CD ignition systems that had a mystery misfire problem atabout 1/2 track, that needed a couple of 1/2 inch holes drilled in the cap to allow ozone to escape.
