I am currently running a Bosch 050 with Crane optical points (not really "points" but a light beam and a disc, instead of points) and a Crane 3000 CD unit.
The problem is the 050 cap is crap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) The cap has aluminum conductors instead of copper like a 009. Also the cap does not fit in a notch in the body of the dizzy like a 009 does, so the cap can rotate slightly even when the clips are tight. So the question is do I stay with the 050 or go back to my 009? (I think I know what I'm going to do) What are some of you guys running???

The 050 is a made in Brazil by Bosch but isn't the quality of the 009. Not too many suppliers carry parts for them. I don't know if there is a differnt cap avaible but I doubt it.
