^I learn, you learn: The intake CAMSHAFT, besides controlling
  the 'breathe in" part of the engine , also is used to program
  the proper operation of the DISTRIBUTOR. The distributor does
  several things, but its main purpose is being part of the
  IGNITION system (starts the car). Let's see if i have it right:
  turn the key. Current flows from the battery, the IGNITION COIL
  (which is a transformer) STEPS UP the wimpy battery voltage to
  the high levels needed. The distributor routes the electric
  pulse to the proper spark plug at the proper time.^
