Type of Dizzy / rotor arm needed

[67Fox]

Hi all, been looking and searching on the forum for the correct type of Dizzy cap and rotor arm.

I have a 1993 4.3 BV (Pre-serp)

Now I have found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-3-9-3-5-V8-Blue-Distributor-Cap-Red-Rotor-Arm-Blue-8mm-HT-Lead-/130616393972?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e695800f4&clk_rvr_id=819209359360&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

So is this the right Dizzy cap as it seems a little short, or is that just the photo? has anyone bought this set. If so how was the quality?
Have read a lot about the Indian rotor arms containing carbon etc... so i'm bit skeptical.
Cheers
Simon

There have been numerous threads on here about rotor arms etc. and the consensus is to speak to one of the "names" in TVR world (Power, STR8SIX to name two) to get the right one first time. Too many threads discussing rotor arms, dizzy's and the issues ensuing an incorrect purchase to suggest these are anything but trouble.

Might cost a bit more but it will work as it is supposed to.

Powerspark have been around for long enough now, that if the products where poor Im sure we would have heard about it. This issue with the "conductive" rotor arm started at least 20 years ago, so if there are still bad ones in the system, they must be pretty old by now. I fitted a bad one to my Ginetta that caused nasty misfires around 1994 and all I can remember it was blue plastic. A genuine one cost me £18 from Landrover, but has worked perfectly ever since.
