Ford Duraspark Distributor Exploded Diagram - Stator, Armature, Vacuum Advance
Exploded parts diagram of an ignition distributor showing the housing, centrifugal and vacuum advance, stator assembly, armature and roll pin.
This document is an exploded parts diagram of a Ford Duraspark-style electronic ignition distributor, uploaded to the gallery of a 1978 Ford Bronco. The line drawing shows the distributor disassembled along its axis, with callout labels identifying the major components: the distributor housing with its drive gear and shaft, the vacuum advance unit (shown with its mounting bracket and adjustment fitting), the centrifugal advance mechanism inside the housing, the retaining clip, the stator assembly (pickup coil) with its attached wiring harness and connector plug, the armature (reluctor) that mounts on the shaft, and the roll pin that secures the armature. Small mounting screws are also depicted in exploded positions. The diagram gives a reader a clear visual reference for how the distributor components fit together, which is useful for disassembly, reassembly, or replacement of the pickup stator, armature, or vacuum/centrifugal advance mechanisms. No part numbers, torque specifications, year ranges, or textual instructions appear on the drawing—only the seven component labels with leader lines pointing to each part.
