Why are my distributor cap terminals burnt?

I am running a ballast, and I’ll check voltage once it’s back together.

@67Dart273 I just wasn’t sure the marks were normal, especially after so few miles.

One thing I did learn was that I don’t think the FBO plate will work with my distributor. Of course I learned this AFTER tearing it apart.

Those posts are too narrow for the slots of the plate, and they’re stationary, so they wouldn’t move in the slots of the plate even if it did fit.

Yea looks normal for about 10,000 miles or so:lol:
But if it’s not misfiring just run it.
