What brand distributor cap/rotor should I get?
96 Tracker 1.6 5spd 4wd 2dr

Here are the Rockauto choices:

BWD/NIEHOFF C783 $6.21
ULTRA-POWER JH237 $6.56
BECK/ARNLEY 1747039 $10.76
AIRTEX/WELLS 5D1075 $13.73
STANDARD MTR JH237 $14.28
ACDELCO E369D $17.98

I remember when ACDELCO used to mean something. I also remember the first time I saw "Made in China" on my DELCO fuel filter.

What cap would @fixkick use?

all top names
ultra not so sure.... (sounds enemy of , "man from uncle"
wow that is a lot o bucks just for a cap.
my guess all made in china, but the top names will be under top quality controls.

amazing no NGK or BOSCH choice.....

BWD in canada is = SMP in usa. odd that one is 1/2 as much.


id buy beck. (sight unseen.)
it may be true all at rock are good. can be, they mostly dont sell junk.

I ordered the BWD. It was stated to be a Car Quest branded closeout.
In 1996 at some point in the year I think the rotor was changed.
I would check what is right for your car before ordering the rotor.

The cap came in a BWD box that was a bit dirty on the outside.
The cap itself looked new/never installed and was labeled "Made in Japan".
I think I got a decent deal.
