Distributor Cap - 1968-79 - Vacuum Advance, 009 Distributors - Black

This black distributor cap is a replacement cap for many VAG ignition distributors used across a wide range of Volkswagen and Porsche applications from the late 1960s through to the 1980s. It is especially useful on 1300cc to 1600cc aircooled engines that have been retrofitted with vacuum advance distributors or popular 009 distributors. The cap fits over the top of the distributor body and provides the contact points for the rotor arm to send high tension current to each spark plug lead in the correct firing order.

As the rotor spins inside the cap, it passes each internal terminal and directs the spark to the correct cylinder. A worn, cracked or carbon-tracked cap can cause misfires, difficult starting, rough running and poor performance, so replacing it is an important part of routine ignition servicing. This 65mm cap is ideal for engine tune-ups, distributor refresh work and older ignition conversions where the correct cap size is required.

Please check the diameter and distributor type before ordering, as several cap styles were used across these years. For a full ignition service, you may also need a rotor arm, points, condenser, spark plug leads and spark plugs.
