Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition LU-420 distributor cap is a critical component in the ignition system, responsible for distributing high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order. Constructed with aluminum contact terminals, it ensures efficient electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The vertical tower position and clip mount type allow for straightforward installation and secure attachment in vehicles requiring a 5-terminal distributor cap. This part does not include gaskets, ignition rotors, screws, or spark plug wires, making it ideal for users who need a direct replacement distributor cap without additional components.
