OK I can report back a little now. As I said before, in my car, is that the spark is working its way through the casing of the rotor and grounding on the distributor drive. I cannot find a crack (eve
But it is what most vendors send you when you order a cap for a 6 cylinder BTW I went ahead and put everything, with the pictures on my website to make things easier. Just click on http://Austin-Heal
