Ken has a good point. Change what you are calling the distributor cap from hell, that's a nightmare to deal with, to a crab cap setup, but making sure you have a good gasket seal between the cap and the casting, and good sealing rubber boots where the spark plug wires enter the cap. Should be much easier to work on as compared to your existing double cap system.
