That center part was made of cheap carbon and burns out quickly with the high voltages. I finally went to a Mallory distributor and have never regretted it. I did hear some person had found a MSD cap and rotor with stronger centers and that it had lasted a long time. But I can't verify that as I never saw it.

I thought about trying to drill that part of mine out and find a plug from another distributor that would fit it and glue it in there and see if it would work, but decided I liked the Mallory electronic one best anyway.
