An automotive distributor's job is to literally 'distribute' high voltage from the coil to the correct cylinder in a car. This primary function is supported by the distributor cap and rotor. Inside the distributor cap is the rotor which is connected to the coil. The rotor rotates past of a series of contacts, one contact per cylinder. A high voltage is being released from the coil every time the rotor's tip passes each contact. This high voltage pulse goes through a small gap between the rotor and the contact down to the spark plug wires and spark plug on the appropriate cylinder. Each automobile has a plastic distributor cap. Although the material used is from resilient plastics, the distributor cap has all the tendency of acquiring excessive heat and vibration which may cause it to malfunction. These heat and vibration are the cause why the plastic covering breaks or cracks. The distributor cap is an important component in the distributor's process of allocating high voltage through out the spark plugs.
