Distributor Cap

The Standard Motor Products CAC1404 distributor cap is a vital component in your vehicle's ignition system. Typically driven by the camshaft, the distributor's primary role is to deliver the ignition spark to the spark plugs at the exact moment needed for combustion. Precise spark timing is crucial for engine performance, and any wear or damage to components like the distributor cap can result in system failure. This particular distributor cap is constructed from durable phenolic material, known for its excellent di-electric strength and longevity. It features aluminum contacts for reliable electrical connections and has 7 horizontal tower positions to connect with spark plug wires. The terminal inserts are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a guaranteed electrical connection, and the rotor blade is coated with an RFI coating to prevent electrical magnetic interference. While the specific vehicle fitment for the CAC1404 is not explicitly detailed in the provided evidence, it is listed as a replacement part for various Nissan 300ZX and 200SX models from 1984-1989. Cross-references indicate it is equivalent to parts like JH-182, E329E, and EP741, suggesting broad compatibility within certain ignition systems. Always confirm fitment with your specific vehicle's year, make, model, and engine before purchase.
