What is this??

Post by Letters11 »

I took my distributor cap and rotor off and found a crack in this so i was trying to replace it but i didnt know what it was called. All the auto parts stores have no idea what it is and told me that it was not included with the cap and rotor sale. I have a 4cyl 1.6. Looking at the car from the front of the hood, from right to left, there were the wires that went into the cap, then the rotor, then this black piece, and then a gasket. I need at least the gasket and this black piece. If anyone can tell me what this is called, i would appreciate it.

I believe the cap will come with a gasket, but that part is part of the distributor. Meaning that you have to buy a new distributor to get a new one of those.

Go to a junk yard and nab one.
