Terry ,
You are right, lock-tite is probably not the answer. It is just a
friction-fit, give it a light squeeze with a pair of pliers and you should
be OK.
If everything is too worn for a squeeze, maybe a new set of caps in in
order?

Subject: [TR] Spark Plug Cap
Second time it's happened over the past couple of years. Driving from work
in the TR3A, get a single cylinder misfire, runs rough, corrects itself
shortly. Pop the hood and it's easy to find. One of the spark plug caps
has come loose and makes a poor, sometimes not, connect. Tighten them up
and things are fine for quite a while.
I thought about lock-tite, but don't have faith in the electrical
conductivity.
Thoughts?
