Standard Motor Products
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 and fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1974 Chevrolet Vega and the 1962-1968 Chevrolet Chevy II, plus several Chevrolet and GMC truck and van 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.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include:
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.
