    Distributor cap - quickly failed

    Distributor cap - quickly failed

    good afternoon, I replaced my damaged distributor cap less than 1000 miles ago (probably less than 500 miles) with a new Bosch one, albeit over a year ago. Recently the car started to miss fire and run badly and due to lack of time..... anyway it would not start today so I grabbed an old cap...
