Keep the spark going exactly where it belongs with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap DR-462. This distributor cap is a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1985 Buick Century, 1985 Buick Electra, 1985 Oldsmobile 98, and 1984-1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. It seats over the distributor and routes high-voltage current from the rotor out to each spark plug wire in the correct firing order, so every cylinder fires when it should.
Core job: distributes coil voltage through the rotor to the individual plug-wire terminals.
Protective cover: encloses the distributor to help shield the rotor and terminals from dirt and moisture.
Fixed terminals: provides the terminal contacts the rotor sweeps to send spark to each wire.
Over time a distributor cap can develop cracks, carbon tracking, or corroded terminals, which may show up as misfires, hard starting, or rough running in damp weather. If a worn or damaged cap is the cause, this replaces it. Always diagnose the underlying issue before replacing.
