Hi
They are very common as used on loads of Fords (amoung others). XR3i for example, and you can at a pinch use the rotor arm from an XR3i as well (just that the rev limited will come in 500rpm lower).
All the best

Hi
Think the copper ones iin theory would be better (longer lasting), but dizzy caps are cheap enough that I wouldn't be too bothered about that.
All the best
