Can someone help me understand the difference between 180 and 180A, and the associated wide/narrow groove? Does each type have a wide and narrow groove? The photos in guides are very similar. I suspect all the insulators above are 180 with the narrow groove on the right. However the one on the far left was listed as a 180A. Thanks for any help.
