I bored 3/4" holes into one cap between the four spark plug wire terminals, and hogged out as much material as I could and still retain the strength of the cap. I then installed the cap and wires and fired up the engine. Using my digital camera, I got one shot out of the seven I took which showed the spark jumping the gap from the rotor to one of the segments...no big deal, just for my amusement.
