Distributor Cap 6/12V Delco-Remy

Late model – Low version for Delco 1110xxx series

Distributor cap for later Dodge WC production fitted with Delco-Remy distributor (1110xxx series). This low distributor cap was introduced from late wartime production onwards and is commonly found in post-war restorations. Suitable for both 6 and 12 volt systems.

Type

Delco-Remy low version

Voltage

6 volt / 12 volt

Application

Dodge WC late production

Distributor

Delco-Remy 1110xxx series

Features

  • Low profile for Delco-Remy distributors
  • For 1110xxx series distributors
  • Suitable for 6V and 12V systems
  • Fitted to late WC production
  • With brass contacts

★ Note: this low Delco cap only fits with the corresponding low rotor. A tall Auto-Lite rotor will not fit here – this leads to mechanical contact or poor spark transmission.

⚠ Important

  • Distributor cap and rotor must match
  • Delco cap (low) only with low rotor
  • Tall Auto-Lite rotor does not fit this low Delco cap
  • Incorrect combination causes mechanical contact or poor spark transmission
  • Check your distributor series (1110xxx) before purchase

Application

Specifically for later Dodge WC vehicles (late wartime production and post-war) fitted with a Delco-Remy distributor from the 1110xxx series. These distributor caps replaced the earlier Auto-Lite versions during later production.

Compatibility

Critical compatibility point: this Delco cap (late model, low version) must always be combined with a low rotor. A tall rotor – as used on early Auto-Lite distributors – touches the inside of this cap and causes malfunction. Cap and rotor must match: low cap with low rotor, tall cap with tall rotor. Not interchangeable between Auto-Lite and Delco-Remy systems without modifying both components.

Historical context

The Delco-Remy distributor was introduced during late wartime production on Dodge WC vehicles. This system gradually replaced the earlier Auto-Lite equipment and is commonly found in post-war restorations.
