distributor
Routes spark plug current
A distributor is a company or person that supplies goods to retailers or other businesses, serving as an intermediary between manufacturers and sellers: The film's distributor handles theaters across Europe.
In an internal combustion engine, the distributor is the device that routes electrical current to the spark plugs in proper sequence—a component largely obsolete in modern vehicles with electronic ignition.
