Abstract
Abstract An improved electrical connection of the H. V. leads at the distributor cap of a spark ignited internal combustion engine, by slipping each semi-conducting H. V. lead over an extended end of a pin which has an enlarged portion for better holding the lead captive therearound; there also being an O-ring for improved electrical and mechanical interconnection, and there also being a rain shield molding so to seal out moisture and dust.
