Thanks for the suggestion, Dan...arcing won't be a problem, I think. At least in the typical automotive or truck distributor. The gap between the connector and the rotor is over an inch and so it would be kind of uncommon to have that much free voltage there. Also all the old type connectors were bare. I use Plasti-Dip to coat the top of the capacitor and usually use two layers. That more than anything is to hold the wire and keep it from moving.
As for crimping I use a pair of vise grips set so the compress the terminal connector down to about 3/32" or so and then I also solder the connection.
