I used to go with AC Delco, Now, not so much. I will buy ACDelco if the price is not double, and if it seems like a good part. The ICM and coil that I replaced not long ago were AC Delco. Seems they are dropping the China stuff in an AC Delco boxe and selling it for twice as much. I did not buy the AC Delco cap and rotor because the terminals are now made of aluminum. The one that I purchased had good ratings and brass terminals. The reviews are not much good because they don't tell you if the part failed after 10 to 20 thousand miles. Over that period of time people don't provide much feedback. I don't know what failed at this point, but the lack of power out of the distributor narrows it down. I am guessing that it is not a little corrosion or arcing. It totally shutdown going down the road so I am guessing something broke.
