That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
If that were the case, why did he replace the cap and not the rotor too? Arcing in the cap doesn't hurt the wires, so what's the problem with the coil? It mabe a porsche, but ignition is ignition. I would tell him to jam it, the same way I told some nitwit who wanted to replace my wifes rotors because there was rust in the vents...
