Get a cap with the brass terminals. Stock has aluminum or pot metal that corrodes much faster.

I bought an AZ cap and rotor 6 months ago, and the quality was so bad I got my money back. The cap was so off tolerance it wouldn't seat on the distributor base.

I would get a Mopar cap/rotor or try the NAPA brand.

I had a problem with major gap change on a double platinum plug from autolites. I changed them to 3923 autolite and have over 15000 on them now. No problems so far, and it smoothed out the idle tremendously.

Again, IDK. The AZ cap I had was a similar looking cap with alum. terminals. All I can tell you is I will not take another chance with AZ ignition parts.
