I owned a 1995 GMC 4.3L and purchased another new one in 2007. The 07 only has 65k miles on it. 4 times, 2x on the 95 and 2x on the 07, I've had rotor and dist cap problems following warm moist conditions.
Yesterday was about 65 degrees, high humidity, condensation on garage and pole barn floor. Only when humid conditions exist, I may have ingition problems. Last rotor and dist have 20k on them. Took distributor off and discovered rust on the two screws that hold rotor in place. That is a good sign of moisture under the cap. I took a pic of it, will post it later if I can get the new nikon to work. It looks like the spark went throught the rotor to the metal distributor part below.
I kinda wish I had purchased a V8 which has distributor less ignition.
Like I said, this problem has raised it's ugly head 4 times. One time, it left me sitting along the side of the road. That time it had NAPA parts. Really don't think it's part failure as much as it's a GM design problem.
What do you think?
BTW, Bubba found out we are making fun of him. He is very upset with me. I think I'll try to patch things up with a 6 pack. George

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
