I'm not so sure this will be of any help to you, but. . .

The only time (in 40 years of messing with 240's) that I have seen anything even remotely like this, is when some guy called me one wet winter's day to help him get his 240 started after he had cheaped-out and installed an aftermarket distributor cap with aluminum terminals.

Every Bosch cap I have ever used has come with copper contacts and they have NEVER caused me any problems even with MANY miles on them.

It's been a few years since I've had to stock up on distributor caps. The question is: Is Bosch now using aluminum contacts?
