A Mercedes 450SL distributor cap is a very vital part of the ignition system. As a cover for the distributor, it helps to direct high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs so that they fire in the correct sequence. Within the distributor, the cap sends electrical current to individual spark plugs via the rotor, thereby making the cylinders of an engine fire at the precise time for peak performance and efficiency.
