Standard Ignition Distributor Cap P/N:GB-457
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.
