MOTORCRAFT DURA-Spark II Ignition System: Operation: Distributor

The distributor contains a pick-up coil which produces a magnetic field. The armature turning with the distributor shaft causes the field to collapse. The module senses the make and break of the magnetic field and signals the ignition coil to turn on and off. The distributor cap is large to provide better insulation for the very high secondary voltage.
