A car’s Contact Breaker is a switching device in the distributor which controls the timing of the spark plugs’ ignition and starts the car engine. The distributor system of ignition tends to be found only in older car models.

The Contact Breaker is positioned such that it opens at the precise moment in order to ignite fuel at the top of the piston’s compression stroke.
