most do. Or many do. No contacts but still one 25kv coil feeding one of
four (6 or 8) plugs..via a rotating rotor arm. there may also be a
sensor there to monitor crank position. But thats more generally on the
camshaft


As is the distributor itself sometimes. Depends really on packaging.


I ask again. Name one new car with any form of distributor. If one exists,
avoid it. As it has an ancient engine design best left for the science
museum.
