Did the old Case rotor work for many hours when placed in the JD 1010? If so then you may have just ran into some poor quality new parts. If you did not let the old Case rotor run for may hours in the JD then it did not get a good time trial in order to fail.
To go that large of a distance the spark votage needs to be higher than normal or the rotor is contaminated with carbon that conducts electricity. Oil, dirt, water condensation can cause arcing. A large spark gap will also raise the voltage and cause arcing. Bypassing the resistor can also do the same thing. The condensor did not cause the arcing.
I have not had problems with NAPA or any generic ignition parts. I know someone will post that everything made today is junk but that has not been my experience.
I would check the plug gap, clean the rotor shaft, remove any resistor plugs or wires, don't bypass the coil resitor if it has one, and see what happens.
Please post back with the results so we can all learn.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
