Keep the spark going where it belongs with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap JH-230. It fits the 1996 Eagle Summit, routing the high-voltage from the ignition coil and rotor out to each spark plug wire so the engine can fire in the correct sequence. A worn or cracked cap is a common ignition wear item, so replacing it is a routine part of tune-up and no-start diagnosis.
Direct-fit replacement: a distributor cap for the listed 1996 Eagle Summit application.
Distributes ignition voltage: carries current from the coil through the rotor to the individual plug terminals.
Wide interchange coverage: crosses to several common OE and aftermarket numbers for easy matching.
Signs the cap may need replacing include misfires, rough running, hard starting, or stalling, often traced to cracks, carbon tracking, or corroded terminals inside a worn cap. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the ignition system before replacing; if a failed cap is the cause, this part replaces it.
