An ignition distributor is described for use in an internal combustion engine which has a plurality of cylinders or combustion chambers. The distributor includes a driving shaft with a number of rotatable cams mounted on the shaft in an axially spaced arrangement. Each of the cams have lobes on them. A corresponding plurality of substantially identical and concurrently operable circuit breaker assemblies are disposed in an axially spaced apart arrangement. A multi-level rotor is positioned on the shaft, with each level associated with a respective one of the circuit breaker assemblies. An ignition coil is provided for each assembly. The primary of the ignition coil is connected to a respective one of the circuit breaker assemblies and the secondary is connected through the corresponding level of the rotor to a spark plug. Each assembly includes an actuating cam follower, and all of the cam followers are pivoted about the same pivot line and onto a common ground plate. Each cam follower engages a respective one of the rotatable cams.
