As we all know....electrical can be the worst to diagnose. I'm wondering if a weak system can cause the build-up? I'm shooting in the dark here but have you taken out a plug, pushed it into the boot and held it against your block while turning over the motor? I have a complete MSD setup too. It really changes the energy of the spark. Each time my rotor hit that plug, it lit it up like the end of your cutting torch. It would be interesting to know if you are really getting a high energy multiple spark.

Seems like battery terminals corrode when there is a weak connection.
