like blas said the center electrode is usually the pain you get from these caps. just bend the rotor tang up to be assured of a good contact. i found caps to be a bit sloppy of a fit on the housing.

msd told me to drill a small hole in mine, oriented to the rear of the cap

Same duration for me. About 3000 miles and then buy another. $25 is about the cheapest thing you buy on a Cobra.
