Its time to replace the distributor cap and rotor. I have FRPP plug wires and an MSD Blaster ignition coil. I have iridium plugs. So, which cap and rotor do I go with? The only real difference I see is that the FRPP has aluminum posts while MSD has brass. The FRPP is about $10 more. Any suggestions? Does it really matter?

I think it's a matter of personal choice. I personally went with MSD gear after purchasing the MSD 6al. Just One Man's Opinion. Peace

Thanks. That is what I was thinking. They are probably about the same performance wise. I like the red to go with the coil and my red wires. LOL. SAD

I prefer brass terminals, though they might arguably wear down sooner.

Good luck.

Went with MSD

Thanks to all who replied. I went with the MSD. I can't complain about $20.
