Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor P/N:AL-176
Keep high-voltage spark moving to every cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor AL-156. The rotor turns with the distributor shaft and carries ignition coil voltage from the cap's center terminal to each spark plug terminal in turn. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1960-1966 Dodge Dart, 1960-1963 Plymouth Valiant, 1961-1963 Dodge D100 Series and 1965-1967 American Motors Ambassador. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list and engine details.
Signs a distributor rotor may need replacing include engine misfires, hard starting, rough running, or a rotor tip that looks burned, eroded or carbon-tracked. If a worn rotor is the cause, this part replaces it. Inspect the distributor cap at the same time.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a distributor rotor do?
It spins with the distributor shaft and passes high voltage from the cap's center terminal to each spark plug terminal in firing order, so each cylinder receives its spark.
Which vehicles does the AL-156 fit?
Listed applications include the 1960-1966 Dodge Dart, 1960-1963 Plymouth Valiant, 1963-1964 Dodge Polara and 1965-1967 American Motors Ambassador. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What are the brass segments for?
The rotor uses solid brass segments, which are designed for better conductivity and higher-voltage spark delivery to the spark plugs.
How does the alkyd material help?
The high-grade dielectric strength alkyd resists dirt sticking to it. This helps decrease carbon tracking and supports extended service life.
What are signs of a failing distributor rotor?
Possible signs include misfires, hard starting, rough running, or a burned, eroded or carbon-tracked rotor tip. Diagnose the cause first, because other ignition parts can produce the same symptoms.
