A distributor coil is an ignition component which distributes spark to each of the engine’s spark plugs. Voltage is sent from the ignition coil to the distributor cap via a spark plug wire. That voltage then travels from the cap’s center terminal to the rotor located inside the distributor. As the distributor turns, the rotor turns as well, distributing voltage to each of the cap’s outer terminals one at a time. The voltage then travels from each of the distributor’s outer terminals, through individual spark plug wires, to each of the spark plugs. Then the spark plug fires, igniting the air/fuel mixture inside the engine.
