This is a quote from the MSD tech forum:
"Assuming that the carbon button was not damaged in transit, the only thing that I can see that would cause the carbon bushing to prematurely wear would be if the rotor tab was not making firm contact with it. If the energy was arcing from the bushing to the tab this will cause the carbon to wear away quickly. Upon installation of a new rotor (in any installation) we do recommend verifying that the tab is making firm contact. One way to do this is to apply a small dab of dielectric grease to the tab, set the cap on as if it was installed, remove the cap and look at the impression in the grease. You should have an indention down to the metal, if not you may need to bend the tab up slightly in order to get the proper tension on the tab.

The post is not a servicable item, there is no replacement part for it."
