Go to your GMC or Chevy truck dealer & buy a Delco replacement w/brass terminals- they're cheaper than a lot of those you mentioned. Open the box to make sure. I bought 6 of them last year for less &&& this way

Could you post a part number for us?

Problem with any mentioned including Delco. None of them will appear as original. The current Delco's do not even have Delco on them.

Re: C1, C2, and C3 Replacement Distributor Cap

I bought a couple Delco Remy copper terminal caps probably about 18 or more years ago. They have nothing on the cap top except a very slight circular indention. Inside the cap it has the small Delco Made In USA Remy in that order and the number 15. Part 1 # D309R with 800061 Gr.2.367 printed on the front of the boxes.
Anyway, another source of a black cap is ACCELL.

Jim, et al-----

The ACCEL cap is the way to go. For all single window applications the one you want is their number 8124. This is a BLACK cap and not the tan cap that ACCEL is noted for. It looks pretty much like the Delco cap except it is not quite as "shiny". It has brass contacts and it's manufactured from a superior alkyd material.

Addendum

By the way, the ACCEL #8124 includes a heavy duty, alkyd material rotor. It's similar to the way the OLD Delco rotors were made. It's nothing like the flimsy, "white" rotors that Delco has supplied for the last 25, or so, years.

Re: Addendum

You're right about the flimsy crap. The new Delco caps are not as thick either. But looking at $$$ originally posted the Delco is/was a bargain

Re: Addendum

What is the price of the new Delco about 15 dollars?

Chris, NAPA: RR168. Brass contacts and nice black cap. Some of the RR168's are low tower and some are high tower. Probably reboxed Standard caps. Less then 20 buks. They used to have the rotors too but I heard they may be discontinued. The good rotors that is. John

Re: Addendum

When I bought them, I bought a dozen @ 12.80- 4 years ago though. Don't know the current $$$
