Default MSD Cap build-up

The car started missing at first I thought is was fuel related because of the dark soot and occationally 4' flame coming out of the exhaust but I check the FI mapping and it wasn't doing anything crazy. Then I started checking the ignition system. I swapped the coil (had a spare) then I looked at the cap (in this order mostly because the cap is a PITA to get off with the TWM rail system. I think this might be the problem, I'm planning on getting another cap. The rotor looks OK but I'll change that also.

I have under 2000 miles on this cap. Does this look normal?
To me it looks like a lot of buildup for 2K. Additioanlly, it looks like it is not firing while the rotor is in the middle of the post. Can this be changed?
