382479 – Distributor Cap – Johnson/Evinrude

The 382479 Distributor Cap – Johnson/Evinrude restores reliable ignition performance on classic outboards. This distributor cap routes high-voltage current from the ignition coil, through the rotor, to each spark plug wire at exactly the right moment.

A worn or cracked cap can cause weak spark, misfires, rough idle, or hard starting. Installing the 382479 cap ensures clean spark delivery, stable firing order, and better throttle response. The cap’s heavy-duty housing resists saltwater spray, vibration, and engine heat — ideal for both saltwater and freshwater use. The terminals are correctly spaced and sealed to block moisture and prevent carbon tracking.

If your engine idles poorly or fails under load, a fresh distributor cap often fixes the problem. This part suits 55–60 HP, three-cylinder Johnson and Evinrude outboards from the late 1960s – early 1970s. Use it for tune-ups, restorations, or general maintenance. The cap delivers OEM-spec reliability and consistent performance on every trip.
