Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition GB-457 distributor cap is a critical ignition component tailored for the Mercedes-Benz 190E. It features a screw mount type that ensures a secure fit on the distributor assembly. The distributor cap is constructed with aluminum contact terminals, which provide reliable electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. This model does not include a distributor vent, gaskets, ignition rotor, or spark plug wires, focusing solely on the distributor cap itself. The vertical tower position aligns with the original equipment specifications for proper spark distribution. The red color of the cap aids in easy identification during maintenance.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed
