Much better IMHO, but I don't like the red caps on these cars. MSD should make a black cap (I bet that other one would work by the way).
This is probably a rookie question, but I assume the holes are to provide some airflow and reduce moisture accumulation? In any case, your response will add to your post count and that will annoy Chas.......

Supposedly the air inside the cap is "extra charged" and that's why the corrosion occurs so quickly. MSD advises you to drill a couple of extra holes in the cap to help air it out and reduce the corrosion (which I had to clean up earlier this year). |

Which makes you wonder why they don't drill holes in their own caps to begin with. Nothing like selling a product and then telling the customer to drill holes in it or you will have accelerated corrosion.

Can't argue there. Here was my previous thread on the corrosion problem: MSD Distributors - Here's Another Thing I Don't Like |
