Hows a distributor cap wired

A distributor cap is wired to connect the ignition coil to the spark plugs through a series of terminals. Each terminal corresponds to a specific cylinder in the engine, allowing the electrical current to flow through the cap to the appropriate spark plug at the right timing. The rotor inside the cap rotates and makes contact with each terminal sequentially, directing the spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder. Proper wiring ensures efficient engine performance and prevents misfires.
