Thanks!Thanks Rick. Sounds like everything is coming together. I'm happy for you.
I've looked and don't find such a part.Did we mention the low resistance distributor center button for the rotor before?
It is a solid piece of copper. Zero ohms. Meaning no voltage drop there to heat up and melt the cap.
Do you have a part number? I'm using the MSD 8360 Pro Billet Ready to Run distributor.
I did find this, but it's listed for HEI.

I need to step back and take another look at that possibility.Rick, you were looking for a possible vacuum leak just before the transmission fiasco happened.
