My car is running very rough and I have noticed that inside the distributer cap is signs of burning surrounding two of the four pickup points. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Fitted an new rotor arm and condenser today and it made no difference to the ignition problem. Expect a new distributer cap tomorrow and hope that cures the spitting back and misfiring.
