Seems to be a fairly common problem with modern replacement parts.  I had
the same thing happen with my TR4 last year.  Luckily, it was a few blocks
from home so I was able to walk back and get the old cap and rotor.

If I remember correctly, the parts that failed were non-Lucas replacement
parts.  I'm pretty sure that I then purchased a Lucas cap and rotor and
everything was fine.

Anyone else on the list care to corroborate this theory?
