Have to replace the cap and rotor in the '96 every 10k or so for the
same thing. Wasn't really a problem until I moved over to the larger
plug wires. At the same time I went to a brass cap and rotor. I don't
know which, or if any, have anything to do with this but that's when
mine started it. Doesn't bother me.

Subject: DML: Distributor cap Q
Last season, I was experiencing a misifire at high rpms at the track.
I examined my distributor cap (Echlin brass from NAPA) to find
that the inner contacts were completely covered with a thick, hard,
white, chalk-type substance. I replaced it with a new Echlin cap but
the track
closed before I could make any runs with it. Because of the harsh
winter, daily driving was kept to a minimum and drastically reduced.
In prep for this season's racing, I noticed the same type of build-up
on the inner contacts but not nearly as bad. I'm just wondering if
anyone else has noticed a similar buildup in their caps with low
driving use.
Thanks
Bob
