I used to drill a hole bet. each post but setting timing can be a "shocking" experience if you know what I mean.

If it doesn't miss at high RPM when hot lappng the car it ain't needed Drilling the caps was a bandaid, let the ionized air out, before they started venting the caps Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
