I used to change mine every 25,000 miles. Now with my full aftermarket
ignition, the cap/rotor life is reduced to 10,000 miles, a small price to
pay for the nice gains with the ignition system. For $12 and 10 minutes of
work, it is cheap insurance for a good running Dak. Take a look at Bernds
website....if your cap looks like the one there, it needs replacement. Mine
looks just like that every 10,000 miles now.
