The ignition (or distributor) cap is where a high-voltage current from the ignition coil is delivered to ignition wires that run to the spark plugs. To build an electrical link, metal contacts in the cap connect with contacts in the ignition wires, and the current is transferred along to each spark plug in order of firing. In the 1970s, this sort of ignition system with a separate ignition coil (a rotor in a distributor that distributes electrical power to each spark plug by wires in the cap) started to fade away. Because of advancements in electronic controls, most current ignition systems do not require a distributor.
