cap and rotors are not lasting

I have a 98 chevy 350 motor I replaced the intake gasket and the distribtor it was bad also. now after i did this i get about 4000 miles and have to replace the cap and rotor. the first time this happened the cap was cover with water and rust so i thought crack cap this sucks but i replaced both of them and forgot it. well now about another 4000 miles or so i burned up the rotor but this time the caps contacts were cover like the battery terminals with all the white corision. and no water was present this time around but both time the rotor burnt thru just before the point of contact to make the spark what can be causing this. the distribtor is a new one by the way

Read the forum meant for the 98 and older pickups? This forum is 99 and up new body.

All models have their advantages and disadvantages. Go back to your ford forums or play with the ricers.

Yeah, really. How often do we flame Fords in this forum? Fuck Ford. Everyone I know who has had one wished they had gotten something else. Like my sister. She had 2 Exploders and decided to call it quits with those and got a Suburban. She's had the Suburban longer than both Exploders put together.
