Solid State Ignition System: Distributor

The distributor consist of cap, rotor, pick-up coil and trigger wheel, centrifugal and vacuum advance mechanisms. The distributor drive gear installed on the distributor shaft meshes with a spiral cut gear on the camshaft. The end of the distributor shaft is flattened and drives the oil pump. Flyweights connected to the distributor provide a means for centrifugal advance. Carburetor ported vacuum is used for vacuum advance.
