Abstract: Exemplary methods for manufacturing a wire and resultant wires are disclosed herein. The method includes extruding a receptor cross-linkable polymer that is substantially free of curing agent about a conductive core and extruding a donor polymer in association with a curing agent. The method includes disposing the donor polymer about the receptor polymer and conductive core to create a multi-layer wire pre-product. The method also includes heat curing a multi-layer wire pre-product to form a wire.

Abstract: A wire assembly includes a plurality of strength members, a first coating layer disposed on the strength members, and a conductive element helically wound about the first coating layer. The conductive element has a length associated with a predetermined resistance. A second coating layer is disposed on the conductive element, an the second coating layer is applied to the conductive element and the first coating layer via pressure extrusion to eliminate air gaps between at least a portion of the first coating layer and the second coating layer. A method of forming the wire assembly includes coating the strength members with the first coating layer, helically winding the conductive element about the first coating layer, and applying the second coating layer to the conductive element and the first coating layer via pressure extrusion to eliminate air gaps between at least a portion of the first and second coating layers.

Abstract: Distributor caps, for example high energy ignition (HEI) distributor caps, may be configured to eliminate spark plug wire overlap via implementation of internal rewiring, for example rewiring corresponding to a firing order of a particular V-style engine. Individual tower terminals may be coupled to internal segments such that consecutive internal segments are coupled to consecutive tower terminals in the firing order, all tower terminals associated with cylinders on one side of the V-style engine are located on one side of the distributor cap, and all tower terminals associated with cylinders on the other side of the V-style engine are located on the other side of the distributor cap.
