Oldsmobile Omega Distributor Cap
The Distributor Cap of Oldsmobile Omega vehicles is one of the excellent parts that posses a vital contribution in the ignition system since it is responsible in the distribution of current from the ignition coil to the spark plug wires. This protective cap covers interior components of the distributor and holds in place the rotor which has the function of transmitting high voltage electricity to the spark plugs while in right firing sequence. Olds Omega Distributor Caps have posts that represent each nut cylinder, for instance, dual spark plugs or wasted spark system. The distributor cap requires regular replacing and the more so in regions with low temperatures where the plastic part of the cap is subjected to enhanced wear and tear that can lead to engine failure. In conclusion, it can be mentioned that the Distributor Cap of Oldsmobile Omega cars is a serviceable but a rather insignificant part without which the work of the engine cannot be ensured but which also has the rudiments of anti-theft protection.
Each OEM Oldsmobile Omega Distributor Cap we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. 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.
Oldsmobile Omega Distributor Cap Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace the distributor cap on Oldsmobile Omega?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.
