Distributor cap woes
How do you guys keep moisture of your caps? This makes the fourth aftermarket one in five years for me! There's no gasket there, so how do you keep moisture out?

I've never had problems with water getting in the distributor cap. Look carefully... is the cap cracked anywhere?

No. There are no cracks anywhere. I haven't physically seen moisture in the cap or anything, but there is corosion on my module bolts and some greenish-buildup on the inside of the cap on the terminals for the wires.
