8339-172 – Head Assembly Kit – OMC / Evinrude / Johnson

Johnson Evinrude distributor cap 382479 restores reliable ignition performance on classic Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines. This distributor cap directs high-voltage current from the ignition coil through the rotor and safely distributes it to each spark plug in correct firing order. That clean path ensures strong, timely spark for ignition.

A worn or damaged distributor cap can cause weak spark, misfires, rough idle, or hard starting. Installing this distributor cap ensures stable spark delivery, consistent engine timing, and smooth throttle response. The heavy-duty housing resists saltwater spray, vibration, and engine heat — ideal for boats operating in freshwater or saltwater. The terminals are tightly sealed to block moisture and prevent carbon tracking.

If your outboard idles poorly or hesitates under load, a fresh distributor cap often solves ignition problems. This Johnson Evinrude distributor cap fits 55–60 HP, three-cylinder Johnson and Evinrude outboards from the late 1960s to early 1970s. Use it for regular maintenance, restorations, or rebuilds — and enjoy renewed spark performance on every start.
