The distributor is the unmovable housing that surrounds a rotating shaft. The distributor controls the electrical firing of the spark plugs at the appropriate timing to maintain current. The distributor along with the coil wire, distributor rotor, spark plugs, spark plug leads, and secondary windings in the coil makes up the secondary electrical circuit for powering the engine.

The voltage flows to the center of the distributor cap and then out to the terminals where it tells the spark plug points to open or close. This process occurs approximately 1,500 times every minute in a typical four-cylinder engine while idling. The location of the ignition coil may be on the inside or the outside of the distributor cap, depending on the model of vehicle.
