Default Drill Holes in Small Diameter MSD Dist Cap
I have just installed a 6AL box to go with my MSD small diameter Ford distributor (PN 8478). I have been told to drill holes in the side of the cap between the terminals to permit moisture to escape and to prevent cross firing due to "charged air particles" under a small cap (terminals too close together). Additionally, I have been told to drill 1/4 holes at rotor height or even mid-cap level. Should I do this?? If so, where should these holes be drilled? How you know if you have cross-fire if the motor runs good?
