Huh?
I'm missing something here. Your photos looks like It's showing identical caps, I see no differences between the two, unless the bayonet that engages the cap is a different size.
The previous discussion you had centered around 77 and 78 caps.
And one running terribly... but I'm confused as to if you swapped a 77 dizzy with a 78 control module...
I mean, the caps swap interchangably.
But those dual and single pickup dizzys are something that should be snagged with the control module. The reason I picked up my FairladyZ for $300 was because it didint' run. The guy used a 78 dizzy on a Fairlady Z module. (Six wire, not four wire) I went out, foung a compatible module and dizzy in the JY, slapped it in and was screaming down the street in fifteen minutes!
Steve has a point about OEM parts, or at least OEM Manufacturer. I have found aftermarket ignition components from mass merchandisers are generally far sub par to factory parts.
But I tend to source OEM manufacturer rather than Nissan boxed parts. If mitsubishi makes the components, I'll buy Mitsu parts from wherever I can get them, usually at a far cheaper price than Nissan. Case in point, Nissan wants like $44 for an 81 Turbo Cap. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The cap from MSA is made by the same OEM, and is like $24 (or some ridiculous dividend of the Nissan price---it was a year ago!)
Same for the rotor. Nissan wanted $36, and MSA was like $4...
But some stuff, you just can't substitute and have it last for any legnth of time.
