Hello All,

The problem, on damp rainy mornings after the first start. While pulling off from my fist traffic light, about a 3-4 minute warmup. The car stumbles and stutters for the next 3-4 minutes and then runs fine for the rest of the day, until the next damp morning.

The Cause condensation in the cap. I didn't know until yesterday that the gray insert inside was referred to as a condensation trap. I also was unaware that the bottom of the distributor had four holes in it. Am I missing something? Does the distributor have to breath to work properly, or can I plug all or most of the holes?

Thanks, Bruce
