The distributor sends a spark to the proper spark plug at the proper time. To do this, the points open and close a circuit to the coil to generate the high voltage spark. This is fed to the rotor which is rotated by the cam shaft and then sends this voltage to each of the spark plugs as the engine turns. Synchronization of this is done with a timing light which will send the spark to cylinder #1 as it comes to top dead center in the fire cycle.

One of the answers said to replace the pick up coil- what is it and where is it thanks?
The pick up coil is located at the base of the distributor and plugs into the ignition module. The pick up coil's purpose is to sense or "pick up" the pulses of the distributor and tell the ignition module when to fire the spark plugs. The most critical part of the replacement of the pick up coil is to make certain you properly mark the orientation of the distributor to the engine block and the rotor to the distributor base. When you successfully make these markings, you will not need to check your timing when this job is finished.
