93 240, 235kmi

I've cleaned my distributor cap a few times now, and that always improves idle and performance. Just sand the contacts and BAM, everything is great again.

I've got about 35k on the Bosch cap/rotor, and about 50 and 8 years on the Bougicord wires.

How often should they actually be replaced?

When I had my 65 bug (all original), I would change the cap/rotor about every 25k. Just not sure how much the tech has improved.

Thanks!
