Help route ignition voltage cleanly to every spark plug wire with the Standard Ignition JH-162, a direct-fit Nissan D21 distributor cap for the 1986-1989 model years that also fits the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima and 1987-1989 Nissan Pathfinder. As the rotor turns beneath it, the cap carries high voltage from the ignition coil out to each plug wire terminal in firing order. A cracked or carbon-tracked cap can interfere with that spark delivery.
- Quality control from start to finish: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It keeps full quality control over the whole manufacturing process, from componentry through to the finished product.
- Decades of development: Standard Ignition's distributor caps and rotors build on decades of research and development.
- High-dielectric housing: The cap is made of high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is intended to reduce carbon tracking and to resist electrical breakdown.
- Direct fit: The cap is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, misfires, hard starting and rough running. Worn plug wires, spark plugs, the rotor or the coil can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the cap is at fault, the JH-162 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a distributor cap do?
It carries high voltage from the ignition coil, through the turning rotor, out to each spark plug wire terminal in firing order. It also covers the top of the distributor.
Is the JH-162 a distributor cap for the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima?
Yes. The JH-162 is listed for the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Will it work as a distributor cap for the 1987-1989 Nissan Pathfinder?
It is listed for the 1987-1989 Nissan Pathfinder. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
What is the cap made of?
Standard Ignition makes its distributor caps from high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is intended to reduce carbon tracking and resist electrical breakdown.
What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?
Look for cracks, carbon tracks or corroded terminals inside the cap, plus misfires, hard starting or rough running. Other ignition parts can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the cause first.
