  • Distributor cap adaptor for after market distributors
    Patent number: 6407352
    Abstract: A distributor cap adaptor that secures an after market distributor cap adaptor to a distributor. The distributor distributes high voltages to spark plugs in an internal combustion engine. The after market distributor cap having a terminal distance diameter that is 15% greater than a conventional distributor cap. The connection of the after market distributor cap to a body of the distributor cap adaptor provides an improved insulation value that substantially eliminates ignition cross fire in the internal combustion engine.
