Default MSD rotor and cap

Is there a certain type of MSD rotor and cap I should get for my stock distributor. Or are they pretty much universal?
Thanks

don't get the msd cap and rotor if you have the stock ford distributor
match things up when you buy. get the ford racing cap and rotor.

i agree changing the cap and rotor to an aftermarket one wont hurt the car it should help it

Sorry bout the late post, I got to take the stang out yesterday evening after installing the new fuel filter, pcv valve, removing the air silencer, removing the mesh screen out of my MAF, and the accel cap and rotor. Car ran AWESOME, could definentely tell that it was way more resposive. I took off my old distributor cap (it was stock) and it was really worn out, then I made a pencil holder out of it .

OOPS wrong thread, but I had started one about getting the accel rotor and cap and those were my results.
