There should be a condenser connected to the point set only on conventional ignition setups. They are not used on CD setups either stock or MSD. The purpose of the condenser is to absorb the arc energy when the points open or close, preventing burning and pitting of the points. In a conventional ignition there is a relatively high current across the points, this is not the case w/ CD ignitions where only a tiny trigger current goes through the point set.

You may be getting arcing at the contacts in the cap, I don't know what you can do except make sure that everything is kept clean
