Distributor Cap and Rotor?

95mustanggt · 05-03-2001, 03:28 PM

I'm getting a tune up done to my 95 GT and need to know what is decent but reasonably priced cap and rotor. I don't want the blue streak cap and rotor (too much $$$), and that is the only option besides stock I was given a choice on.

Wife's taken the car in on Monday so I need some advice before then. Thanks.

Anything done to the car or is it stock? Why not stick w/ a Motorsport cap and rotor?

The car is pretty much stock, but I do have a ADS Chip. I'm throughing on FMS 9mm wires and FMS plugs. I was going to go with the FMS Cap and rotor, but just wanted some options. I guess I'll probably go with the FMS cap and rotor.

Thanks.

I went with the Acell cap and rotor, the FMS ones appear to just be Standard Motorcraft ones with aluminum terminals. The Acell has brass terminals. The blue FMS 9mm also go for $39.99 from Summit. The Acell cap is $14.95 from Summit.

I went with the Accel unit in this Mustang and my previous one and it worked fine. I'd go with the Accel, fairly cheap and good quality.
