Huh?
I have a problem with my distributor cap & rotor building up deposits of crap which interferes with the spark. Every thousand miles or so I have to pull off the cap and scrape it and the rotor because the idle gets lumpy, and replace them every 2 or 3 thousand miles which is more often than it seems I should. I have tried dielectric grease on the contacts but that didn't seem to help. I know the deposits are a given for any electrical spark jump contactor, but this seems a bit excessive to me and gets to be a drag to constantly have to deal with.
I'm running an MSD distributor with 6A box, good plug wires, NGK plugs. The cap has a little vent hat on the top only. I've been told the deposits are from ozone build up in the cap. I'm thinking about drilling a couple of tiny holes on the front & rear of the cap down low to get a little more ventilation through it.
Anybody else suffer from this and/or have any ideas how to reduce it?
