I've found that at about 7000 miles, the Cap, Rotor, and Plugs need to be
replaced due to the MSD Ignition. Got pictures to prove it on my site.

Subject: DML: Autolite Plug Lifespan

Please, let's not start to plug debate again!!! :) this is just a simple
question on replacement intervals!!
What is the typical lifespan on Autolite Copper spark
plugs???.......especially the fact of running a complete aftermarket
ignition. Or how often 'should' plugs be checked/replaced? I thought I read
somewhere the Autolite Coppers tend to have a shorter lifespan than other
plugs, with or without an aftermarket ignition. I have been very pleased
with the Autolites and would put a set back in again. Not that I care, cause
for $7 or so and 10 minutes of work, I can have all new plugs in my truck. I
know the Borg Warn Select Brass Cap/Rotor typically need replacement at
about the 7-10,000 mile marker(in my experiences anyways), just wasnt sure
if this shorter lifespan carried over the plugs.
