Spark Plug Wires Distributor Cap Rotor

The cap and rotor contacts will wear down just like the spark plug electrodes wear down over time from the high voltage going through the electrodes.

Spark plug wires distributor cap rotor.

Quicksilver 805759q3 distributor cap kit marinized v 8 engines by general motors with thunderbolt iv and v hei ignition systems. Mercruiser thunderbolt 4 3 l v6 distributor cap rotor spark plug wires kit set. These factors cause the plastic in the cap to break down over time and the internal plug wire contacts to oxidize and deteriorate from spark arcing. When the rotor touches those contacts it sends power through the distributor cap and spark plug wire to the spark plug.

The rotor spins around like a helicopter rotor and as it spins it transfers electricity to the points of the cap. Your spark plug wires carry power from your distributor to your spark plugs. The distributor cap connects the spark plug wires and distributor rotor. It includes contact points on the underside that when contacted by the rotor link the voltage supplied by the ignition coil to the proper spark plug.

4 7 out of 5 stars 7. Accel distributor cap rotor kit filter by. Only 3 left in stock order soon. The distributor cap serves as a link between the spark plug wires and distributor.

It is recommended to replace distributor cap and rotor at the same time you are having the spark plugs and spark plug wires replaced. Find the rotor inside the distributor under the cap. They feature a boot at each end and an insulated conductive core to carry the current. The rotor contacts the appropriate point on the distributor cap to carry voltage from the coil to the spark plug wire and finally to the spark plug.

With time a distributor cap and its contacts may wear and fail under the stress of high voltage exposure. The electricity then moves through the spark plugs to the engine cylinders. Like all moving parts distributor caps and rotors eventually wear out from a combination of heat vibration extreme voltage cracking and carbon deposits and need to be replaced. Distributor cap and rotor kit ignition coil distributor distributor cap.

Over time spark plug wires and boots may be damaged by heat or wear with age. The distributor rotor and cap keep the distributor s contents separate from the engine and keep the distributor s working parts clean and tidy while supporting the incredibly high volts of energy and delivering them to the appropriate spark plugs. With an ever expanding line of supercoils and all the spark plug wires tune up kits and fuel injectors hot rodders have trusted and relied on for years accel is constantly developing innovative new products designed to push power speed and performance to match advancements.
