Default Distributor Cap and More
Hello Im looking into replacing my distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs. I'm looking for the best name brand. I don't drive my van that often but I get a misfire at least once a year due to either cap or wires. Its a 2003 4.3lt 90k. Is there any that you recommend?

I have always had good luck with ACDelco parts.

I'm using BWD Select. Its OEM replacement. Works fine. Have Bosch Iridium plugs I think, and haven't changed plug wires yet.

Keep the last set of cap and rotor you take off, and clean them up with emery cloth. The points inside just get oxidation on them.....
