    I have always opted for OEM on this component, I don't see an upside unless you see a big savings seems like the OEM is still available brand new so I would stick with original OEM

    Personally I've never had good luck using aftermarket cap and rotor kits on my 84T.
    The other critical component being the CAS, and again, I use the newer oem CAS
    from the VG33, granted they are used from J-yard cars, but I'd still will usually trust used OEM over budget aftermarket.

    So i wonder if they are selling a rebuilt OEM core with aftermarket components. The price is tempting, not so much if you had to go oem on the cap and rotor because of misfires.

    AS far as I know these have no remanned parts in these, .they are all new … rockauto has the best price 117 …
    Mainly I'm looking at my 85 with over 220K miles and thinking getting a new dist might be a good idea

    You can use an oem cap/rotor on it just like the oem dist

    It comes with a new cas plus the new bearings and the new gear itself … the remanned oem dists are about $260 plus core charge compared with 120 for the spectre … Also I'm thinking just having a spare around might be a good idea ( having 2 z31's)
