Help keep high-voltage spark reaching each cylinder in the correct order with the Standard Ignition Distributor Rotor FD-112. It is a replacement rotor for the 1967 and 1970 Ford Cortina, the 1971-1973 Ford Pinto, and the 1971-1972 Mercury Capri. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The rotor sits on top of the distributor shaft and turns with it. As it spins, it carries the ignition coil's high voltage from the cap's center terminal to each outer spark plug terminal in turn.
A distributor rotor may need replacing if you notice a misfire, hard starting, or rough running, or if an inspection finds a burned, eroded, or cracked rotor tip. Other ignition parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything. Many technicians replace the rotor and distributor cap at the same time.

What does a distributor rotor do?
It turns with the distributor shaft and carries the ignition coil's high voltage from the cap's center terminal to each spark plug terminal in turn.
What materials does Standard call out for this rotor?
Standard's features name solid brass segments for conductivity and a high-grade dielectric strength alkyd that resists dirt sticking to it, which helps reduce carbon tracking.
What are signs a distributor rotor may need replacing?
Signs include a misfire, hard starting, rough running, or a burned or eroded rotor tip. Other ignition parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything.
Should I replace the distributor cap at the same time?
Many technicians replace the cap and rotor together because both are ignition wear parts. This listing covers the FD-112 distributor rotor.
