Keep high-voltage spark flowing cleanly from the rotor to every plug wire with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap AL-141. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for dozens of 1960-1967 AMC, Dodge, and Plymouth applications — including the 1965-1967 American Motors Ambassador, the 1960-1965 Dodge Dart, and the 1961-1963 Plymouth Valiant — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list across the L6-2.8L, L6-3.2L, L6-3.3L, L6-3.7L, L6-3.8L, L6-4.1L, and V8-4.7L engines.
Seated over the distributor, the cap routes current from the rotor to each spark plug wire in firing order. If a cracked, carbon-tracked, or corroded cap is behind your rough running, misfire, or hard starting, this replaces it.
- 7 terminals with vertical tower positioning.
- Clip mount type secures the cap to the distributor.
- Aluminum contact terminals carry current to the wires.
- High-dielectric, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin housing for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
- Black cap.
No ignition rotor, spark plug wires, gaskets, screws, or instructions are included. Made in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this distributor cap do?
It seats over the distributor and directs high-voltage current from the rotor to each spark plug wire in firing order, so every cylinder gets its spark.
Does the AL-141 include a rotor or spark plug wires?
No. The ignition rotor, spark plug wires, gaskets, screws, and instructions are not included per the catalog; order those separately if needed.
How many terminals does it have and how does it mount?
It has 7 terminals with vertical tower positioning and uses a clip mount type to secure to the distributor.
What are the contact terminals made of?
The catalog lists aluminum contact terminals, which carry current from the cap to the spark plug wires.
What are signs this cap may need replacing?
Cracks, carbon tracking, or corroded terminals can cause misfires, rough running, or hard starting. Diagnose the cause first, since these signs can have other sources.
