That's normal. Where the burn is is about timing, and if you drive a lot where timing is advanced then the burn marks will be further over.
Those caps fail internally usually. Since you have it off, test continuity between the contact post and the corresponding spark plug wire port. That's where the faliures usually are in the caps. The port is not above the contact on these distributors like the TBI and older, so you'll need to see where they run to or get a diagram.
