A high voltage distributor is reduced significantly in size by utilizing a dielectric fluid medium having a high dielectric constant between adjacent spark plug contacts. The distributor includes a fluid-tight chamber which contains the fluid medium, a rotor, a common high voltage supply contact and a plurality of spark plug contacts concentrically disposed to provide a metal-to-metal conduction path with the rotor. The rotor defines an electrically conducting path between the common high voltage supply contact and sequentially selected spark plug contacts, and contains a magnetic element which is magnetically coupled to a corresponding magnet at one end of a rotationally driven shaft, located external to the fluid-tight chamber. |
