This is a problem I have been chasing down for a while. Ever since I made a pass at the Winterport Dragway in Maine. #7 cylinder spark plug is wet with fuel, but compression is good (160 psi). The distributor has Pertronix Ignition. When I pulled the cap and rotor, the cap appears burned at all contacts. When I removed the rotor, I get a very slight side to side movement of the distributor shaft (maybe .005") but no movement when the rotor is sitting inside the Pertronix collar. The cap and rotor are 10 years old, but they don't have that many miles on them. So, do I try a new cap and rotor first before replacing the distributor?   Thanks, Rono
