The metal cap is not the resistor.  It is just an adaptor for 
different types of plug boots.  If your plug boot needs the adaptor, 
make sure you tighten it with a pair of pliers.  Many ignition 
problems are caused by the loose adaptor.
A resistor is inside the porcelain, IF you have a resistor plug.  
Resistor plugs have an R in the plug designation, as in B7ER instead 
of B7E.
