aS A FORMER AUTOMOTIVE HOTLINE OWNER , (LINDER TECHNICAL SERVICES ) LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS !!

He said : ( got to really really listen)

Well we are having the same trouble this year with moisture in cap in my 59a with frt mount 2 bolt electronic dist cap Moisture get in it if it is a least bit cool an humid.But took cap off and noticed the coil hole in cap had no metal connector in it.Is that normal.Always keep a spare in the glove box for this reason.To change in a parking lot if it spits and sputters and quits.Went to get some BBQ last week and it started to slowly start to die but it caught up and got me home.I have an electric fan I wonder if it blows cold air on the cap and causes the moisture in cap.I know I beat this dead horse down but Thanks

key words here ?
Same trouble
electronic distributor ( mallory)
no metal connector ( needs some kind of connector )
electric fan ( high amp draw 12 volt )

Now pulling those words out of statement , we would ask ????????
Is the cap a mallory unit ( china made at best ??) no metal contacc in cap at coil , when it fails do you have spark at coil wire ? Have you took a real good look at coil wire ( omhed for circuit) and connections ???
Look at ignition voltage when electric fan comes on is it still stable ????
Then when all is confirmed etc spray units with wd40 ......

always glad to help
