Thanks Bob,
BTW..... last year (?) I ordered both the Lucas and the "generic" rotor and
there was a difference between the two. They both fit and worked but they
had a different shape. From the distributor feedback I've gotten, both on
and off the list, I think I'll get the generic distributor cap.
