The distributor is a core component of the engine's ignition system, responsible for routing high-voltage current from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct firing order. When the distributor is functioning properly, the engine starts cleanly, runs smoothly, and delivers consistent power to the drum drive and hydraulic systems.
