Where is the ignition distributor?
Ignition Distributor Essentials The distributor acts as a spinner, ensuring that spark is continuously distributed to each spark plug. It’s composed of a rotating arm located within the top of the distributor shaft. That shaft is moved by a gear attached directly to the camshaft on most overhead valve engines.
How do you check the distributor?
Check the Arc Place the metal screwdriver near the electrode of the distributor. It should not touch the electrode. Step away from the hood and have someone watch the arc while the ignition is turned on. If there is an arc, it is firing.
How do I know if I have a point distributor?
It’s fairly simple. If you open your hood, be sure your car has a distributor cap with very thick wires coming out of the top and going to each spark plug. If you don’t have a standard distributor cap like this, you don’t have points. If you do have a standard distributor cap, you can open the cap up and peek inside.
Is the ignition coil part of the distributor?
The ignition coil is the part of your engine that produces high voltage in order to power your cylinders. The distributor is what gets that high voltage from the coil to the right cylinder. The ignition coil connects to the rotor, and the rotor spins around inside the cap.
