[V8] snapping noise from the distributor/coil area

[Korn, Bob]

Had the same thing happen to me, a little JB Weld was quick overnight
fix while waiting for the new cap.

I had an odd one just like this:
One of the plug wire towers on the cap (driver side) was cracked all the
way
around its base - only the metal conductor was holding it on. It was
shorting
out to the black plastic cover over the cap. It turns out this cap is
conductive
and is basically a ground shield for RF noise. I could not see the crack
until I
removed the cap and then the cover. Probably caused by the monkees at
the
alignment shop.
