Help carry high-voltage spark cleanly from the rotor to every plug wire with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap AL-131. It is a replacement distributor cap for a wide range of classic American cars and trucks, among them the 1949-1956 Chrysler Imperial, 1951-1955 Studebaker Champion and 1953-1957 Dodge Truck.

  • Quality control throughout: Standard is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and maintains quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to the finished product.
  • Decades of development: Draws on decades of Standard research and development in distributor caps and rotors.
  • Reinforced cap material: Made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is designed to reduce carbon tracking and resist electrical breakdown.

The distributor cap takes high voltage from the ignition coil. The rotor then passes that voltage to each spark plug terminal in firing order. Signs this part may need replacing include cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, as well as misfiring, hard starting or rough running. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the ignition system first. If the cap is at fault, AL-131 replaces it.

More Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto, Nash, Packard, Plymouth and Studebaker applications are listed. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and for engine details.
