Default Dizzy cap

I have a 1991 4x4 sapph.

I'm looking at buying a new dizzy car and rotor arm. Is there any difference between the non cat straight cap and the cat angled cap? (apart from shape lol)

I'm also considering a set of 909 leads and would like to buy the best performing cap (if there is a difference)

Thanks!

Im pretty sure all the sierra 4x4 cossie caps are the same. The 2wd caps are angled. Ive got a 2wd car on my 4x4. I just found it easier to fit the 2wd cap.

Or right ok then. I ordered a cap for mine and it came as a 4x4 cap i tried fitting it n thought the 2wd cap was easier to fit. So i sent the new 4x4 cap back and got a 2wd cap back.

Default dist cap

all red tops come with angled caps and all later greentop engines came with straight ones,as for fitting 909 leads make sure you buy a grp a coil,which will help make the most of your spark!

they all fit each other cap wise....but remember the leads are different, angle or straight fit, so may well fit but could be tight if you fit the wrong combination...
