I just thought I would provide that information for everyone so no one has to go calling various places trying to get the part like I did.

No kidding? Do you know how much it is? I know Advance wanted $220 for their stock cap and rotor replacement, and they didn't mention an alternative, whereas the MSD is $150.

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw it in the other thread.

The AC-Delco vented cap and rotor GM PART # 10457293 is only ~$115 from Jason or Dal.

Im guessing the MSD rotor will be able to handle high RPMs without disintegrating like the GM ones?

Summit has them listed in the book but their website shows a ship date of 2-28 (and that has changed once). I'm waiting on their stock to purchase one. I'll never buy another Wells part - past bad experience AND especially at $220.

best to call and ask, and make sure they have it in stock....

I wish that were true. MSD has not actually shipped the product to anyone yet. I called Summit today and asked them about it. They said they don't have it yet. They suggested I call MSD to find out when they would be out. I called and MSD said mid March.

MSD: (915) 855-7123

Umm...O'Reilly's maybe?

They [GM] only make the vented. It services both non-vented and vented models.

Re: Called MSD; cap and rotor won't be available until mid March

I asked before looking because I knew I hadn't seen that brand advertised anywhere, whereas I had seen Borg Warner, Sorensen, MSD, AC Delco and Niehoff.
I just searched through Google and apparently O'Reilly doesn't have a website.

EDIT: Yes he does; I hit zero instead of O
