I would replace the cap and rotor just like Falcon said. Summit has the MSD-84811 for 154.88. I'm running this in my car and works great. Be sure to buy the water pump gaskets as you will have to remove to replace the cap and rotor. Might not be a bad idea to replace pump while you have it off, if you haven't already.JMO
