How to Hook Up an Accel Distributor A71100E

The A71100E is an automobile distributor manufactured by Accel, a company that specializes in high-performance ignition parts for street rods and muscle cars. A distributor is a device on a car or truck that sends voltage from the vehicle's ignition coil to the spark plugs in the proper firing order so that the vehicle starts without backfiring. Distributors are made up of two parts, the cap and the rotor. The Accel distributor is installed the same way any other distributor would be installed.
