A Contact Breaker is a type of Electrical Switch found in the Distributor.
The purpose of the Contact Breaker is to interrupt the current flowing in the primary circuit of the Ignition Coil. When this occurs, the collapsing current induces a high voltage in the secondary winding of the coil, which has many more windings.
This causes a very high voltage to appear at the coil output for a short period - enough to arc across the electrodes of a spark plug.
