Keep the spark moving to every cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor AL-179 (also written AL179). Mounted on the distributor shaft, the rotor turns beneath the cap and transfers high-voltage spark from the coil to each spark plug terminal in firing order. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of vintage Flint, Hupmobile and Falcon Knight models from the 1920s and 1930s — including the Falcon Knight Model 12, Flint Junior, and numerous Hupmobile Century and Series cars — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 45 applications.
High-grade alkyd body: strong dielectric strength that resists dirt sticking, which helps decrease carbon tracking for extended service life.
Solid brass segments: for better conductivity and higher-voltage spark to the plugs.
Shaft retention clips: used where required for the best fit and performance.
Quality-controlled build: from an original-equipment ignition manufacturer with quality control maintained throughout the process, from componentry to finished product.
If a worn, cracked, or carbon-tracked rotor is the cause of misfire, hard starting, or rough running, this replaces it and renews the spark hand-off inside the distributor. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
D208, RB9033, AL17, 1004988M1, IG1320, 30067
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a distributor rotor do?
It mounts on the distributor shaft and rotates under the cap, transferring high-voltage spark from the coil to each spark plug terminal in the engine's firing order.
What are the segments made of?
This rotor uses solid brass segments, which provide better conductivity and a higher-voltage spark to the plugs.
What are signs my distributor rotor may need replacing?
Engine misfire, hard starting, or rough running can be signs, especially with a cracked or carbon-tracked rotor. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms have other possible causes.
Will this rotor fit my vehicle?
AL-179 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed vintage Flint, Hupmobile and Falcon Knight applications. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific model and year.
What other part numbers does AL-179 replace?
It cross-references to D208, RB9033, AL17, 1004988M1, IG1320, and 30067.
