Default Echlin Condenser Part Numbers

I'm replacing the points and condenser on my 72 small block and see two different Echlin part numbers - RR175 and RR1750. What's the difference between these? Part number for the points is CS786.

No, I don't know difference ... perhaps NAPA counterman does or NAPA tech ... or their maker Standard tech 718.392.0200
Have you considered a "uni-set" ? ... unitized point-condenser ? echlinblue streak standard ig pn DR-3575C

FWIW, RR1750M has a brass case & terminal $$ (intended for marine use; marine bits typically more robust)

The Rr175 is twice the price of the rr1750, so for lack of anything else, i would go for the rr175

I use the RR175 in all my builds and tuning.
