Keep clean spark reaching every cylinder with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor AL-98. Seated on top of the distributor shaft, it carries high-voltage current from the coil to each terminal inside the distributor cap as the shaft turns, routing spark to the plugs in firing order. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of vintage applications, including the 1937 DeSoto S-3, 1941-1942 Chrysler Windsor, 1948-1954 Dodge Truck, 1953-1954 Checker A6, and 1956-1959 Jeep Truck — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 122 applications.
What it does: transfers the coil's high-voltage spark to each spark-plug terminal in the cap in sequence.
Signs it may need replacing: if a cracked, corroded, or carbon-tracked rotor is the cause of misfires, rough running, or hard starting, this replaces it.
Tune-up part: a common ignition-service item — inspect the distributor cap at the same time.
Direct-fit: replaces the original rotor on the listed applications.
It sits on the distributor shaft and transfers high-voltage current from the coil to each spark-plug terminal inside the distributor cap, distributing spark to the cylinders in firing order as the shaft turns.
What are signs my rotor may need replacing?
Misfires, rough running, or hard starting can point to a cracked, corroded, or carbon-tracked rotor. Diagnose the cause first; if the rotor is at fault, this part replaces it.
Will this fit my vehicle?
AL-98 is a direct-fit replacement for 122 listed applications, including Checker, Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Jeep and more. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make, and model.
Which part numbers does AL-98 replace?
It cross-references 117457, J117457, D103, 641159, 868095, AL923, AL62, 12338253, 419, and 404833. Its own manufacturer part number is AL-98.
Should I replace the distributor cap too?
It's good practice to inspect the cap when servicing the rotor, since both wear over time. Replace the cap as well if it shows cracks, corrosion, or carbon tracking.
