Looking for a tune up kit for my 350 mpi, found a cap and rotor kit but it's not mercruiser, cap has same number as merc but rotor has a different number. since caps are pretty much the same would the rotor be fine or do i keep looking for one with all numbers matching?

Always best to give us a serial number
Being a 2005, there is a chance you have the flat style cap (HVS) which most call a crap cap. If this is the case then they are the same as auto

To be sure let us know what you have

engine serial number is 0w037384, yes it's the flat cap. It's been a few years since I swapped the cap, rotor wires and plugs so a tune up couldn't hurt for next spring.

Always good with those caps to keep one onboard, they can go bad and look great

Looks like AC Delco D329A
I found it by looking up 2005 GM distributor cap, or could look for a gm pickup with same motor
