The distributor's main function is to route electricity from the ignition coil to each spark plug at the correct time.

Answer is "distribute current" based on the spark timings decided by rotation of shaft. As the name itself suggests, it only distributes current towards a targeted spark plug. Spark timing is a later phenomena as a result of the distributor system triggering the spark plugs.

A distributor is an enclosed rotating shaft used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines that have mechanically-timed ignition. The distributor's main function is to route secondary, or high voltage, current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order, and for the correct amount of time.

In my opinion, distribute the high voltage current to the spark plug one by one according to ignition timing.
