Mercury Cougar Distributor
Distributor plays as critical role when it comes to supply correct current firing in the engine since it directs electrical current from Mercury Cougar ignition coil to spark plug to fire in a correct sequence. It has principal parts like rotating arm, shaft that gets its power from the camshaft and the contact breaker cam, besides there are centrifugal and vacuum advances for precise spark timing control. In later models development of new breaker points which are non-contact types has taken place effectively in the area of lower maintenance and increased durability. As for the ignition systems, the coil packs or individual coils for each spark plug has reduced usage of distributor systems with varieties such as the direct ignition (DI) or coil-on-plug (COP) that reflected better ignition control, power, fuel efficiency, and most importantly; emissions. Modern inventions have, however, made distributor systems rare in most designs of modern cars; inventions such as wasted spark system that fires two plugs at a time.

Mercury Cougar Distributor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and install a distributor on Mercury Cougar?A: To remove the distributor, start by unplugging the primary electrical connector. Note the raised "1" on the distributor cap, which marks the terminal for the number 1 spark plug wire. Remove the distributor cap and, if you have a remote starter, follow the manufacturer's instructions to turn the engine over until the rotor is pointing towards the number 1 cylinder. If you don't have a remote starter, rotate the crankshaft until the rotor is pointing towards the number 1 plug wire terminal. Make a mark on the distributor base directly below the rotor tip and in line with it, as well as on the distributor base and the engine block for proper reinstallation. Remove the distributor hold down-bolt and clamp, then pull the distributor straight up to remove it. To install the distributor, insert it into the engine in the same relationship to the block as before. Check the alignment marks and rotor position, then turn the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation to engage the gears. Seat the distributor against the block and align the marks made on the distributor base and the block. Install the hold-down clamp, distributor cap, and module electrical connector. Reattach the spark plug wires and connect the Battery Cable. Finally, check the ignition timing and tighten the distributor hold-down bolt securely.
