Also, has anyone had any issues with the current crop of dizzy caps? During setting the ar up mine started to fail, poor spark etc. I had what I hope is a "Lucas" cap with me, and when replaced all OK. He mentioned he gets this a lot with the repro brands, especially Cosworths when they get hot. On the one that failed I could see a small brass ring around the centre section, but on another cap I have this is not present. So wondering who sells what now.
cheers

Both dizzy caps and rotor arms have been poor for many years. A common failure mode is to become conductive when hot, so you are left stranded by the side of the road until it cools down. I went through a phase of 'distributor cap of the week' before I came across the Distributor Doctor. I always buy my ignition components from him, and have had no further problems.
