OE supplier to BMW.... how's that?

I ran "these" for years in the 1990's (bought them from Beck Arnley) on all the cool kids' cars that ran 010's and bought stuff from me @ Buggy House.

I have been using one for some time now in the baja with no problems - very nice quality and fit.

Distributor caps are funny. At least to me, they are. When I worked at the various auto parts stores and dealerships as a parts technician, we'd sell tons of 'em. Every time someone did a tuneup, they bought one. I've used the same one in my Volvo wagon (car has mostly German parts including Bosch) since 1994. It doesn't wear out. I have no idea how old the one in my BMW is. But when I take it off to check the wear, it looks fine.

To each their own, but I just don't buy into the theory of replacing 'em as often as most people do. But when I build my big engine for my '67, I'll be sure to find a new (or like new) correct cap for my .010 distributor. Thanks for the tip, 1970. Good to know that there ARE suppliers out there with the goods.

AssHull bought one of those brown caps... there was a good bit of plastic casting flash on one of the terminals inside the cap. Popped off easy with a screwdriver and it wont be a problem now, so just have a quick look inside before you snap it on.

can i ask what will probably be a stupid question? why would you use an 010 over an 009? whats the difference and advantage or disadvantage of one over the other?

Nope! You can get a Pertronix for an 010 (also fits 019 and Porsche's 022). But it will set you back a Franklin.

how much is an 010 worth if you can find one?

Dig through the piles of junk at the swap and you can find them for a couple bucks if you're lucky. If you can find one that will drop in for $50, that's a great deal. Restored, figure $150, at least.
