I had 45k on one distributer cap and I don't think wearing out is the
issue. Cracking and moisture are usually the big killers.
Every time it rained mine got wet under the cap. At first I thought the
little vent holes so I sealed them. No difference. Maybe it's
condensation from the hot cap then cold rain hitting it.
I then took a rattlecan top, cut the little center thing out of it and
cut a flap to allow for the plugwires and then cabletied it over the
distributer cap. Never had a rain issue with it again.

How long does it take to wear out a distributer cap? Do you carry a
spare ?
