Distributor Cap ?s

I've just recently learned a lot about my distributor and the cap. I took it off the other day and my terminals are kinda white and burned.

Is there a Nismo distributor cap? Or, can I just get one at AutoZone?

Also -> I know MSD, ACCELL, BOSCH, NGK, and YAZAKI products all have to do w/ the igniton system.

Whats the best set of wires and plugs for a VG?

What are the new Iridium plugs? Are they supposed to deliver a better spark?

OEM or Bosch cap/rotor, NGK or Bosch wires, regular NGK plugs...thats all you need. no need to spend extra money on upgraded or more expensive equipment when you don't need it.

until I see proof that $$$ *** iridiums perform better in the VG than OEM NGK...I'll say go with the NGKs everytime! IMO, never pay more for no reason.

yea, true. But hey, if it delivers a better spark, sure - why not.

What about the rotor on the distributor, how do I make that have the best spark?

hey its your money...but like I said until I see proof of increased gains or efficiency on the VG then they are just "fad" plugs to me

as for the cap and rotor stay stock, stock is fine...besides there are no distributor or rotor "upgrades".
