Distributor Cap

I know that brass terminals are preferred over aluminum ones, but can I order any distributor cap with brass terminals that fits my engine/year and be fine? I need to do a tuneup soon. Thanks.

Any good quality distributor cap [brass or aluminum terminals] will work fine and is certainly better than an old one which has oxidized.

Go to RockAuto.com and you can see photos of available choices.
