Distributor/Cap question ?

1995, RWD XJ

Are there two different types of caps for a cherokee?

I went to purchase a new one and i was told that there are two different numbers for my year and I need to know wich one I need.

Thanks.

That would be a difference. I always begin my search at auto shops with " I need __(insert part here)___ for a 1999 jeep cherokee 4.0.

When I bought that stuff for my '94, two different cap/rotors were shown. The rotor configuration was the way to tell which one to match the old one.
Typical Chrysler.... Some older V8s had more than one distributor model for the same year.
