Help keep ignition voltage headed to the right spark plug wire with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap GB-441. It fits many vehicles and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 1986-1991 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, 1986-1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC and 1986-1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A distributor cap works together with the rotor. High voltage from the coil enters the cap's center terminal, and the spinning rotor passes it to each outer terminal in firing order, where the spark plug wires connect.
Signs this part may need replacing: cracks or carbon tracks inside the cap, worn or corroded terminals, misfires, hard starting, or rough running. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system before replacing parts.

What is the GB-441 cap made of?
Standard states that its distributor caps are made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is intended for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
What does a distributor cap do?
It receives high voltage from the coil at its center terminal. The rotor spinning beneath it then passes that voltage to each outer terminal and spark plug wire in firing order.
What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?
Look for cracks, carbon tracks, or worn or corroded terminals inside the cap, along with misfires, hard starting or rough running. These symptoms have other possible causes, so diagnose first.
What part numbers does GB-441 cross-reference?
It cross-references C682, 03227, 1235522392, RB954, EP789, 88921818, 0001585202 and 1585202.
