If it's a brand new cap and rotor, I wouldn't bother with anything other than making sure it's dry when you put it on. I've had the same problem as you and discovered that a hairdryer on the dizzy cap for 10 seconds made it fire first time. I will be changing my HT leads, rotor arm and cap in the near future, and one thing I will make sure is I have wired up the relay that bypasses half the coil ballast resistor to give the coil an extra nudge when cranking (John Hervey has the wiring diagram correction on his website). I'm sure this hasn't helped my situation and might be worth checking on yours.
