Dist Cap went KABOOM

[Ben Baird]

I would say that looks like a loose connection that caused a lot of arcing
and fried the surrounding plastic of the cap.  I had it happen once on my
'91, but not as bad as that one.  Time for a new cap and prolly should
replace the coil wire while your at it.  I use dielectric grease (only a
little) in these area now to make good clean corrosion free contact.
