Ckp Cel

Hey, remember when I said that the engine was getting a CPK sensor? Here'sa theory... When the new head got put on the car, I used a brand new MSD Red Cap distributor cap. I liked the last one I got because at night you can see the individual sparks through the transparent cap and it's an interesting conversation starter.

But the new one I put on showed all the signs of a defect. First, notice how each terminal (post?) has warped and began to expand outward and away from the center, they're all not facing straight.

Second, this threw off the metal pieces in the inside of the cap.'

And third, there even began a "melt mark" on the side of the cap closest to the front of the car, although there was no significant heat source anywhere close to it!



see the posts? all over the place




just terrible




There's no reason for this melt mark at all! Why did it happen MSD?



Perhaps you should all take warning... my MSD Cap was great the first time, but this batch maybe has some defects...
