distributo cap and rotor
well I got my ditributor cap and rotor yesterday. I was trying to save a little money after the clutch job took it's toll on my wallet. I ordered from another parts company: "whispers (autozone)" Ans low and behold I git the wrong parts!!! I reckon you git what you pay for

The rotor comes with and without the metal adaptor. Is this what you see as different?

I don't know if it was just a freak accident, but the PO of my car installed an Autozone cap & rotor and the rotor self-destructed. Full-on meltdown in there. Not saying yours will, but... I believe you do get what you pay for
 Along this topic, can someone with OEM cap & rotor take a picture of the inside of their cap? I want to see if the little bit of wear I already have in mine is normal.

The rotor has a resistor in it. If you are using an after market coil or other higher than stock voltage source you can blow it up -- melt it.

well my dist. cap has like a rubber cover around it. The one from auto zone does not. The rotor is bigger around than the cap and has three screws to hold it on. The cap & rotor pelican shows for my year model looks like what I have

The rotor pelican list (bosche)says it does not come with the adapter. and they don't list the adapter. I'll take a picture of my cap when i get a new one but mine looks purdy worn

Sounds like you have the 16 valve distributor cap.
