i personally replace dizzy + rotor arm + leads + plugs every small service; (but i max 10000km a year for every car)

brass contacts is definatly the way to go, aluminium would work just as good if you were able to get a proper seal on the dizzy so moisture can't get in

Are you sure the A-series caps fit? Not according to the Practical Classics PIG Guide.
