Help keep high-voltage spark flowing to every cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap FD-146, which carries ignition energy from the rotor to each spark plug lead. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1973 Ford Pinto, 1966-1970 Ford Cortina and 1966-1967 Ford Anglia, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It maintains complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from the individual components to the finished product, and draws on decades of research and development in its distributor caps and rotors.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include hard starting, misfires, a rough idle, visible cracks, carbon tracks inside the cap, or corroded terminals. If a worn cap is the cause, the FD-146 replaces it. Move the spark plug wires over one at a time so each lands on the matching terminal and the firing order stays correct.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this a Pinto distributor cap that fits my 1972 Ford Pinto?
Yes. The FD-146 is a direct-fit replacement for the 1971-1973 Ford Pinto. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to see the other vehicles it fits.
What does a distributor cap do?
It covers the distributor and carries high-voltage spark from the rotor to each spark plug wire terminal in the engine's firing order.
What is the Standard Ignition FD-146 made of?
It is made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. Standard Ignition says this gives less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
What are signs my distributor cap may need replacing?
Hard starting, misfires, rough idle, cracks, carbon tracks inside the cap or corroded terminals can come from a worn cap. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
How do I install a new distributor cap?
Move the spark plug wires from the old cap to the new one one at a time so each goes to the matching terminal. Then seat and secure the cap as the vehicle service information directs.
