What to Know About Distributor Caps (Before It's Too Late)
The distributor cap plays a critical role in engine ignition by routing voltage from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct firing order. When it cracks, corrodes, or warps from heat, you’ll notice hard starts, misfires, or total engine failure. For classic and older models like the Ford Bronco, replacing the distributor cap with an OEM unit helps maintain reliable combustion and drivability.
What Does the Distributor Cap Do?
The distributor cap works with the rotor to send high-voltage pulses to each spark plug at the right moment. If the cap is damaged or worn, spark delivery becomes inconsistent, leading to rough idling or stalling.
Which Other Ignition Parts Are Important?
- Rotor: Spins inside the distributor cap and transfers voltage to plug wires.
- Ignition coil: Generates the high voltage needed for combustion.
- Plug wires: Carry spark from the distributor to each plug.
- Spark plugs: Ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder.
- Ignition control module: Regulates coil firing and timing signals.
Why Choose OEM Distributor Caps and Ignition Parts?
OEM distributor caps are built to match your engine’s firing order, fitment, and timing demands. Generic parts often suffer from poor terminal contact or plastic that can’t withstand heat cycling. Using genuine Ford parts ensures smooth, consistent starts and peak engine performance.
