Odd problem, rotor rubbing dist. cap
Never seen this before, get a funny noise when the engine is cold. Took a while to find the noise, but the rotor is rubbing against the inside of the distributor cap. This is the top plastic part of the rotor and leaves a circle on the underside of the cap. Replaced cap and rotor with NAPA's best, $38, but still have the noise. Seems to go away when it gets hot. Ever seen this before? Is there a fix?

wow never heard of that before, that's really odd. My advice would be take the 38 dollar napa cap back and order a 35.00 cap and rotor kit from msd off of summitracing.com.

re: rotor
ive seen this before,either the rotor isnt goin all the way down(maybe a burr on shaft, is it rusty by any chance? also,could be a badly worn shaft)be sure the button is down first ,be careful not to break rotor .(if you have the old rotor use that) hope this helps,jimmy
