Remember how I was bemoaning that all I could find was distributor caps
with *aluminum* contacts, but I wanted copper (first choice) or brass
(the usual)? Lucas is aluminum, so was Bosch last time I checked.
This weekend, the Bosch one I got at Grand was copper, so I'm happy. Who
knows why they changed or if they'll stay copper...
Price: $14 cap, $4 rotor, eep! Champion's still a deal at $1.09 each.

p.s. After driving around awhile, the copper contacts still look shiny
and perfect. Aluminum would already be pitted, scorched, burnt;
eroded away by the high voltage discharge... (as happened with
my brand new Lucas cap last time I did this).
