The NAPA RR165 cap is a really good cap. I had grown sour on the rotors though. I have been buying the MSD rotors for the point style distributors as they are MUCH more robust. The MSD's also have a longer terminal thus reducing the gap between the 2 electrodes.

I have used the Napa caps and points also over the years, with no issues. Tom, the RR167R Napa rotor is the one you need. I found 2 new in the box on E-Bay. Some Napa stores might still have them in stock. MSD has a cap and rotor kit also, part number MSD 5500.
