12A distributor cap and rotor Qs

I'm putting a Jacobs ignition booster in my 1984 GS, and I don't want to use a cap and rotor that has aluminum contacts. I've been to a half dozen auto parts stores, and I'm coming up with rotors with copper/bronze contacts, but the darn caps are all aluminum contacts. Any suggestions on where to get a good guy cap with copper/bronze contacts?

I've tried every autoparts store I can think of, I've scoured the internet, and still no luck. Anybody got any more ideas? I really hate to use the caps with aluminum contacts with this, but it looks like I'm going to have no choice.

Napa - Distributor Cap #EP690
Napa - Rotor #EP691

Both have all Copper/Bronz or Brass Contacts not sure which one, but there Gold in Color (Made in Italy)
Hold on to your *** $50.21US for both parts.
But you can feel the difference!!! Idles and Runs better than Factory overall.

You might check with MazdaTrix, I think that's where I got mine last year (either there or the Mazda dealer).
