Nathan What wires are you running and what coil? If you run a high power coil and stock wires type wires, then they will break down faster. Carbon track is what builds up in all caps. If you use a little lighter fluid on a rag and wipe it out, that will take care of that. You might what to check the rotor and see if it still reads 5000 ohms from tip to flat brass spot if you haven't already put it back together. The spring loaded contact will do that. It's ok, just make sure when you put the cap back on the little contact is free enough to ride down on the flat spot of the rotor.

The plugs, wires, cap/rotor are all less that a year old. I gapped them to all .025. (The manual says between .024-.028) I removed the cap and rotor today and noticed black fouling on all of the contacts. The spring-loaded contact in the center of the cap was recessed into the cap slightly. When I pressed on it if fell out! I don't understand because I have done everything according to the work shop manual. What would cause this?
