Modern Equivalent for Dual Points

[Mike B.]

Can someone supply Delco and popular aftermarket part numbers for the cap and rotor that will exchange on an 891 dual point distributor fitted in a 1961?
Thank you.

Save me some typing by specifying one or two among Delco, NAPA/Echlin, Borg Warner (BWD), Niehoff, and Standard Motor Products/Bluestreak.

Also understand that virtually all, including Delco, are now manufactured by Standard Motor Products, so whatever you buy among the major traditional brands is the same part - just different packaging, so buy on price and convenience.

NAPA/Echlin, BWD, and Niehoff were owned by Dana Controls in recent years, but Standard bought Dana's Contols division last year and now owns all the above brands except Delco. Delco purchases virtually everthing they sell. For all practical purposes they are just a marketing outfit selling purchased parts in their their own packaging.

Sorry about that, I did not know that there were so many choices. How about Delco and Standard? Thanks!

Cap/rotor - Delco D305/lot listed; Standard Motor Products DR-437/DR-309. Add a X suffix to the SMP number for the Bluestreak line.

Some package a cap and rotor together under a different number.

If you google on any brand name you should be able to quicky get to their online catalog.
