Zav, New Jersey crew was big, but it did not go to war cause the numbers were against them and the Brooklyn faction had a lot of heavyweights in those crews.

Pmac, Taccetta was operating as acting capo since 1980, when Accetturo Sr, lived most of the time in Florida. Accetturo Sr used his son as a conduit between New Jersey and Florida for messages and orders. I dont know if Jr was made, but it was more like how John Gotti Sr was only an associate but was a capo of a crew, of course had the blessing of the Gambino administration.
Speaking of Gambino family, Taccetta got his start at a young age with a Gambino capo before hooking up with Accetturo and the two joined the Lucchese family. There is also well documented evidence from 1988 onwards of Taccetta meeting Tommy Gambino, and a couple of other Gambino members.
