Ignition Rotor

Austin Davis, June 28, 2014March 25, 2015

Ignition Rotor – The rotor fits on the center shaft of the distributor and is inside the distributor cap. When the distributor turns the rotor the electricity from the ignition coil is sent through the rotor to the individual contacts inside the distributor cap. The rotor can become worn and will need periodic replacement. It is usually advisable to replace the distributor cap and rotor together.
