| 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 Keith |

| 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 Keith |

| Well. I took mine off today to check and clean and guess what I found, or should I say, didn’t find.
The carbon electrode in the middle had corroded away and so was arching across the gap to the rotor arm. I put one of my old ones on until I but a new one and now revs higher easier, but is still a bit woolly / fluffy |
