Paul,
I've replace several distributor caps over the last 27 years, and it had
little to do with the car's mileage. A crack in a distributor cap can be
almost
invisible, and cause intermittent misfiring that is hard to diagnose.
Sometimes the trouble can be temperature + humidity + vibration dependent too.
Cheap
insurance to swap out the cap and rotor I think. IMHO anyway.
Good luck William!
