I have seem something similar to this before. It was caused from the contact on the top of the rotor is not making the proper contact with the carbon contact at the center of the cap. With a gap there, arcing will occure between the rotor contact and cap and very quickly destroy the center carbon contact assembly. I mention this because there looks to be a substantial amount of carbon on the caps center contact. Were there any running problems just before the failure? Perhaps a weird operation of the Tach? (a lagging behind or wildly swinging needle) Does the carbon trail inside the cap orient towards the cap vent?
