So I found a local Parts Plus store that has Beck Ankey (?) cap and rotor on hand, a little cheaper that Bosch, but are the parts as good? I'm really considering it, just so I don't have to wait for the shipping. Any thoughts?

 

I would go with the BOSCH They are the closest to OEM.

We use them.

 

I went ahead with the parts from the store. I figure they should work fine. Got a Wix air filter, federal mogul wires, ngk plugs, and beck ankey cap and rotor. Price was right and I hope they'll be fine.

 

Beck /Arnley products are sold thru retail stores like CarQuest.

Regarding Spark Plugs wires, take ohms reading of old OEM wires and new wires. Readings should be consistant between wires 1 thru 5. Unless you purchased performance wires, readings of new wires should be slightly less than old ones.

Regarding Cap and Rotor, it is desirable to have brass/copper contacts. More and more aftermarket vendors are switching to cheap aluminum. I prefer OEM and NAPA/Echlin http://napaechlin.com/. As long as you have brass/copper contacts, you will be fine. If you have aluminum, return and purchase another brand.

I use NGK plugs in all of my Japanese vehicles. With turbo'ed engines, stay away from expensive platinum, iridum, etc. I can easily go 30K miles with regular BPR6ES-11 and BPR7ES-11 plugs. With NGK, 6 is a hotter plug than 7, -11 is pre-gapped at 1.1mm (.043inch).

Plugs for our normally aspirated engines are:
Bosch Copper FR7DC, NGK BKR6ES or BKR6E (V-power), Autolite 3923, and Champion RC9YC.
and our turbo'ed engines are...
Bosch Copper FR7DC (FR6DC might be too cold), NGK BKR7ES or BKR7E (V-power), Autolite 3922, and Champion RC7YC.

and should be gapped at .028 inch.
