Keep high-voltage spark flowing to the right cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap DR-437. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1962-1968 Chevrolet Chevy II and the 1971-1974 Chevrolet Vega, plus several Chevrolet and GMC truck, van and Suburban models. The distributor cap covers the distributor and receives high voltage from the coil. As the rotor turns, it passes that voltage to each outer terminal and on through the spark plug wires.
- Controlled from start to finish: As a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, Standard Ignition maintains complete quality control throughout the manufacturing process, from componentry to the finished product.
- High-dielectric cap body: Made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. This is designed to reduce carbon tracking and to give greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
- Brass terminals where available: Solid brass terminals are used where available for better connections and greater resistance to electrical pitting and corrosion.
- RFI resistors where specified: RFI resistors are fitted where the application specifies them, to help suppress radio static.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include:
- Visible cracks or carbon tracks
- Worn or corroded terminals
- Misfires, hard starting or rough running
These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system before replacing parts. If a worn cap is the cause, DR-437 replaces it. Installation is also a good time to inspect the rotor and spark plug wires.
