Look for deposits and tracking on the inside of the cap which would be a
dead give away, though you may not actually see too much and still have a
problem. 

I would suggest making sure you completely clean the whole distributor
assembly and change the rotor arm when changing the cap

Moisture around the dizzy will also tend to encourage arcing

Can you have a dist cap go bad and create cross
sparking from within the cap. This being where the
power arcs from one tip of the dist cap to another
tip.
