Standard Ignition FD-114 Distributor Rotor

Distributor Rotor for Ford Pinto and Mercury Applications

Standard Ignition FD-114 is a distributor rotor built for select 1974-1976 Ford Pinto and 1975-1976 Mercury Bobcat and Capri applications. It uses a gray alkyd body with brass contact terminals to support consistent spark transfer in distributor service.

Key Features

• Gray high-dielectric alkyd construction helps resist dirt buildup and reduce carbon tracking.
• Brass contact terminal material supports better conductivity and spark delivery.
• Shaft retention clips are used where required for fit and performance.
• Direct replacement distributor rotor for ignition distributor service.
• Standard Ignition FD-114 is engineered for dependable ignition system operation.

Detailed Description

The FD-114 distributor rotor is designed for vehicles that rely on a conventional distributor ignition system. Its alkyd material helps limit contamination on the rotor surface, while the brass segment promotes efficient voltage transfer from the distributor to the spark plugs. This combination supports stable ignition performance in Ford Pinto, Mercury Bobcat, and Mercury Capri applications. This part cross-references Gates 23055 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Misfires caused by worn or carbon-tracked rotor surfaces
• Weak spark transfer through the distributor
• Rough idle related to ignition rotor wear
• Hard starting from degraded distributor components
• Intermittent ignition performance in distributor-equipped engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor type and rotor fitment before installation. Inspect the distributor cap, terminals, and related ignition components for wear or corrosion at the same time. Confirm the rotor seats correctly on the shaft and that any required retention clips are properly engaged. Compatible With 1974-1976 Ford Pinto, N/A; 1975-1976 Mercury Bobcat, N/A; and 1975-1976 Mercury Capri, N/A.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition uses decades of ignition-system research and development in the design of its distributor caps and rotors. FD-114 is built to deliver consistent material quality and fit for the listed applications.
