What does a distributor rotor do?

The distributor rotor works inside the distributor cap. Its job is to spin and direct the high voltage spark from the ignition coil to the correct spark plug terminal at the precise moment needed for combustion.

Why are anti-arc barriers important on a distributor rotor?

Anti-arc barriers help prevent electrical current from jumping to unintended places within the distributor cap. This ensures a cleaner, more focused spark is delivered to the spark plug, which can lead to more consistent engine performance.

Does this rotor come with a new distributor cap?

This Omix distributor rotor is sold individually and does not include a distributor cap. You will need to purchase the distributor cap separately if your current one is also worn or damaged.
