Default New cap and rotor

I see that there's a bwd cap and rotor for about 20 bucks, and there's accel cap and rotor for about 25 bucks.

Is accel better than bwd?

What brand is the better quality?

I have a 99 Cherokee 4.0

I don't know if it's any good, but it looks good cause it's red.

Lol +1 red

Most important thing to look for is brass contacts. The black BWD cap on my '99 has 'em.

So those without brass contacts are junk? U mean brass inside the cap where the rotor touch them or on outside where the wires plug. To?
