[Mgs] Distributor Cap Solution

[Paul Hunt]

May well have been coincidental.  The button would have to be about 1/4" 
away from the rotor before it would stop the spark, unless you have other 
ignition issues causing a weak spark.  That's not to say caps don't go bad, 
a pal had a new cap and a few miles later it started missing.  When he 
eventually got round to looking under the new cap he found the button 
missing altogether and just the spring had been on the rotor till that burnt 
down, also burning the rotor.  Changed the cap and the rotor and went 
merrily on his way, only to start missing again until it cut out altogether 
a few miles later.  That turned out to be the new rotor!
