ignition distributor

The Ignition distributor was mounted on top of the block in the gap between the heads.

In older vehicles a single (large) coil would serve all the spark plugs via the ignition distributor.

It uses 2 ignition coils and no ignition distributor.

The old-style ignition distributor could not provide the consistently hot spark needed for the leaner air-fuel mixtures required by clean air rules.

The key feature of Motronic 1.7 is the elimination of an ignition distributor, where each cylinder has its own ignition coil (coil-on-plug).

An oil pressure distributor was mounted inline with the ignition distributor and delivered appropriately timed direct oil pressure to open each valve at the proper interval.

The worn-out brushes in a dead starter or a short circuit in a sparkless ignition distributor would eventually be revealed to a mechanic who carefully dug through the clues.

The displacement went from 3.3 L to 3.5 L. The timing belt was replaced with a timing chain and the ignition distributor was replaced with an individual coil ignition system.

Also, the remote oil filter attached next to the water pump on the ignition distributor side of the engine on the B14 had been relocated to a housing under the intake and exhaust manifold side on the B16.
