Arching Rotor / Distributor Cap Reply #15 – June 09, 2008, 01:27:49 PM Quote from: dw85745;222742That was one of the questions I posed -- if polishing the terminal would help. Original thought was the smoother the terminal less change for arc to fragment and possible create extra gases. DavidSmooth, rounded surfaces will increase the voltage necessary to jump the gap... A arc will more readily jump from a irregular/sharp/pointed object... Quote Selected

Maybe that's why I had less issues with the multi-point rotor. Even though per Standard QA was designed for RFI, maybe a side benefit was less buildup because of point. Another issue may have been the gap. Unknown whether gap on wire < gap of blade type.===========BTW corrected other "Arch" to Arc Quote Selected
