I've seen this, from arcing due to spark advance being
such that the spark fires before complete contact is
made between the cap terminal and the rotor terminal. 
IF your ignition TIMING is not set by the distributor
body (i.e., if you have solid-state ignition and the
pickup is not in or on the distributor body), rotating
the body so the contacts line up better at the time of
full advance spark would be my advice.  And of course,
replace the cap and rotor.  ;)
