    Find a cap and rotor with a high dielectric strength. Cheap caps and rotors will allow arcing between terminals causing crossfire. Stick with a major brand, Mallory, MSD, etc. and you should be good to go.

    I had a minute to pull off the cap on the distributor and snap some pictures. Does anything look out of the ordinary?
