GMC Pick-up Truck Ignition Distributor Parts

GMC Pick-up Truck Ignition Distributor

In your GMC Pick-up Truck, ignition distributor plays a vital part in the electrical system. The ignition distributor is responsible for directing current to the spark plugs. The distributor receives electrical current from the ignition coil. In mechanical ignition systems the distributor can also be used to control the timing advance. A worn out ignition distributor will definitely affect the engine performance, fuel economy and emissions. The primary function of the ignition distributor is to route or distribute the coil's high voltage output to the individual spark plugs.

The cap and the rotor of the ignition distributor help to distribute high voltage from the coil to the correct cylinder. The coil is connected with the rotor which rotates inside the cap. The metal part of the rotor is connected to the high voltage cable from the coil. When the rotor spins within the distributor the electrical current jumps the gaps created in between the contacts and the rotor arm due to the high voltage created by the ignition coil.

If the GMC ignition distributor is damaged it will also affect other parts in the ignition system. Car Parts Warehouse provides a wide selection of car replacement parts at wholesale prices.
