I'm assuming you mean spark plug wiring, in which case, one of the most important things to find out is your particular motor's firing order. You can locate this information on line or invest in a manual. Pay close attention to the routing of your wires, especially adjacent cylinders, make sure the wires do not touch or are too close together else crossfiring could occur.

How does a distributor work?

The distributor takes the electrical output from the coil and sends it to the spark plug. The rotor is the device that transfers the electricity from the coil wire to the spark plug wire.
