Standard Motor Products Distributor Cap

The Standard Motor Products distributor cap is a replacement ignition part. It sits on top of the distributor housing and sends high-voltage current from the ignition coil to each spark plug wire in the correct firing order. A good distributor cap helps the engine start easily, idle smoothly and run reliably.

Key Features:

• Replacement design built to match the form, fit and function of the original equipment cap
• Internal terminals conduct high-voltage current from the rotor to the spark plug wires
• Durable, heat-resistant and insulating housing helps resist cracking, carbon tracking and moisture intrusion
• Corrosion-resistant terminals help maintain a consistent electrical connection
• Made by Standard Motor Products, a long-established name in ignition, fuel and engine management parts

Distributor caps wear out over time from heat, vibration, moisture and electrical arcing. Replacing a worn cap can help prevent misfires, hard starting, rough running and poor fuel economy. It is usually replaced together with the distributor rotor, and often with the spark plugs and wires, to restore ignition performance. Also called a distributor cover or ignition distributor cap.
