Looking for a quality cap with brass contacts for my '67 273-4 with the factory dual point distributor. Tan would be a plus.

So far, the only caps I've been able to find have the cheaper contacts. I saw a note that an Accel 8830 (cap and rotor) would fit but Summit only shows those as being AMC applications.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Because of corrosion, caps for marine applications are usually brass, but they usually have a special distributor so I am unsure if the caps are interchangable.

I have tested both on my drag car (kind of a myth busters thing and have found absolutely no difference in performance. I run the older MP tach drive distributor that takes a special cap (the stock style cap won't fit) and I can only get the aluminum contact cap now. I found an old NOS brass one to do my test.

As far as longevity I couldn't tell you which one would last longer.
