Before upgrading your vehicle to a new distributor, follow this useful article to learn everything you need to know about performance ignition distributors.
Since their inception at the start of the 20th century, motor vehicles with gasoline burning engines have needed a precise way to deliver an electrical spark to each of the engine`s cylinders. (Note that diesel engines do not rely on an electrical spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture.) For much of the past 100 years, the spark has been delivered by the ignition distributor. The distributor is always mechanically linked or timed to the engine`s rotation so that the spark is sent at the exact moment it is needed.
