Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It keeps quality control in-house from individual components through to the finished cap.
The distributor cap works with the rotor to deliver ignition voltage to the correct spark plug wire. Signs a cap may need replacing include cracks, carbon tracks inside the cap, burned or corroded terminals, misfires, hard starting and rough running. Because the cap and rotor work together, inspect the rotor at the same time.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a distributor cap do?
It sits on the distributor and works with the rotor. Together they route high-voltage current from the ignition coil to each spark plug wire so every cylinder receives spark.
Which vehicles does the AL-493 fit?
It is listed for Chrysler, Hudson, Lincoln and Packard models, including the 1946-1948 Chrysler Town & Country and the 1948-1950 Packard Super Eight. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What is the AL-493 cap made of?
Standard Ignition makes its distributor caps from high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is designed for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?
Common signs include cracks, carbon tracking, burned or corroded terminals, misfires, hard starting and rough running. Diagnose the cause first, because other ignition parts can produce the same symptoms.
What part numbers does the AL-493 interchange with?
The AL-493 cross-references C124, 641033, AL944, AL66, 8EL12106, IGP1003 and IGP103.
