Buick Skylark Distributor Cap
The Buick Skylark Distributor Cap is an essential part intelligence box that helps to distribute electricity produced in the ignition coil to the spark plug wires. It shields the interior of the distributor and holds the rotor in place; the rotor being responsible for transmitting electrical voltage to the spark plugs in the right sequence. Variations of the distributor caps include dual spark plugs per cylinder or a wasted spark system. It is critical to do routine service on the distributor cap to eliminate the regular failure of the engine since a faulty distributor cap may lead to shaking, stalling, backfiring, and poor start. In summary, the distributor cap is an important unit in the technology of the engine ignition signal and is occasionally employed in instances of protection against theft.

Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Buick Skylark Distributor Cap Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the distributor cap?A: It is important to install the spark plug wires in the correct order on the distributor cap. If the distributor cap terminals are burnt or crusty, indicating the need for replacement, a new distributor cap should be purchased. To replace the cap, disconnect the ignition switch/battery feed wire and tachometer lead from the old cap. Release the old cap from the distributor body by pushing downward on the slotted latches and turning them ¼ turn. For L4 engines, a stubby screwdriver may be needed. On V6 engine distributors, remove the retaining ring located on top of the cap. Transfer the spark plug wires one at a time from the old cap to the new one, being careful not to pull on the wire insulation. For L4 engines, push the plug wires and boots firmly into the new distributor cap. For V6 engines, fit the plug wires into the retaining ring before refitting it onto the cap. Finally, place the new cap and plug wires into position over the top of the distributor and lock it into place by pushing and turning the latches, ensuring that the cap is firmly seated.
