Not all that big of a deal.  They are simply little gray tracks inside of
the distributor cap that cause misfires which are mostly noticed under a
load.  Looking on the inside of the cap it should be clean & the actual
contacts should be smooth.

Subject: Carbon Tracking??

Can someone please explain what carbon tracking looks like in the
distributor cap??  I found a reference to it on an old email.
