For a 97 gsr, I always see these two parts listed:

06304-p72-000

30103-p73-003

Any difference and which is the better one to get?

Oh, also forgot to add this random question:

My cap has only a light white fuzz on the contacts but no metal appears to be eroded away. Is it ok to just sand this off and reuse the cap?

 

Yes, you can reuse the cap, 06304-p72-000 is the "kit" comes with screw and washer. 94

 

So one of the parts dealers said that there was a "VIN break", and that for me, the p73 part was the right one to get.

 

Go with what the dealer recommends. 94
