    Hi all,

    I know there are alot of threads talking about this subject, however I can't seem to find a anwser on my question.

    I have a 1980 GTSi US spec, with Magneti merelli distributior caps and rotors, I have found a ebay link that shows a pair similar to mine.

    My issue is, that I just broke one of the rotors, I have found alot of different rotors on the internet, and even seen problems like the talk below:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/technical-q-sponsored-algar-ferrari/78781-rotor-cap-problems.html

    Which one would be the best buy? Is part no. 30817075 at Ignition Parts for Ferrari 308, 208, 288 GTO & F40 - Superformance any good?

    As I'm living in Denmark (Europe), and I would like to have the rotor before the weekend, the obvious question will be, is this Magneti merelli distributior rotor used on other cars/brands? I have seen that the Euro spec uses the same as Alfa Romeo Montreal, but what about a US spec?

    Thanks,

    Kind regards
    Daniel

    I have purchased multiple rotors and caps from superformance (because they were cheap). They all fell apart within a few months.
    I had Carobu (Carobu.com) switch me over to a single distributer system (which is what I believe the 308 came with originally). The cap and rotor they installed is close to bullet proof. The cost was considerably more but well worth it.
