Standard Ignition Distributor Cap P/N:AL-494
$49.99

Keep spark firing to the correct cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap (AL-494), a direct-fit replacement for a range of vintage vehicles. It fits classic applications including the Falcon Knight Model 12, several Flint models (Junior, Junior Z-18, Model 60, Model 80, Model B-60, Model E-80), a wide span of Hupmobile series, and the 1938 Nash Lafayette — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

The distributor cap routes high-voltage current from the ignition coil, through the rotor, to each spark plug wire in the engine's firing order. A cracked or carbon-tracked cap can cause misfires, rough running, and hard starting.

  • Glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin: high dielectric strength for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
  • RFI resistors where specified: help eliminate radio static and potential ECU-damaging voltage spikes.
  • Solid brass terminals where available: designed for better connections with greater resistance to electrical pitting and corrosion.
  • Built by a global manufacturer of original-equipment ignition products, with quality control maintained throughout production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this distributor cap do?

It routes high-voltage current from the ignition coil, through the rotor, to each spark plug wire in the engine's firing order.

What are signs my distributor cap may need replacing?

Misfires, rough idle, hard starting, or stalling can be signs of a cracked cap, carbon tracking, or corroded terminals. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

What is the cap made of?

It is made of glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin with high dielectric strength, for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.

Does it have RFI resistors and brass terminals?

RFI resistors are provided where specified and solid brass terminals where available, per the application—the resistors reduce radio static and potential ECU-damaging spikes.

Which vehicles does the AL-494 fit?

It fits a range of vintage vehicles including Falcon Knight, Flint, Hupmobile, and the 1938 Nash Lafayette. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
