On a drive the other day at 55 mph for about 20 minutes with volt meter reading 14-14.5, engine shuts down. Pulled off to shoulder, tried restart; nothing. Checked the distributor cap to find that the brush has completely disintegrated with what appears to be burnt areas where it was housed. Got car towed home, installed new cap and rotor; started up on first try. Questions??? Was the cap defective? Is there an electrical issue that needs to be addressed? Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
