[FC] sputtering

[Ben Stiles]

I took off the distributor cap.  Twas dirty inside (a bit of build up on
each of the copper terminals.  I cleaned them up and cleaned about the
Ignitor components inside.  I did not see the carbon trail and the cap did
not look cracked.  I will see how it goes tomorrow, then try my spare cap if
it is not better.  Also cleaned up the top of the coil.

Thanks all for the advice!

Ben
