Are these both the same? The guy at the parts store said there is a difference between the Hitachi and another brand. Before someone states the obvious, I know that the offset only allows the distributor to go in one way.

1st one looks cleaner and might have less miles. if there both stock type dizzys doesnt really matter. its the coil,rotor and cap that matters both will give spark if in working order
