  • Spark plug wire harness assembly
    Patent number: 6328010
    Abstract: A spark plug wire harness (20) for use with an ignition system (50) of an internal combustion engine (52) includes a substantially rigid body (22), plug wire mounting posts (24) coupled to an input end (30) of the rigid body (22), and terminals (26) coupled to an output end (32) of the rigid body (22). Conductors (34) are embedded in the substantially rigid body (22). Each of the conductors (34) has a first end (36) in electrical communication with one of the plug wire mounting posts (24) and a second end (38) in electrical communication with one of the terminals (26). The spark plug wire harness (20) to conveys igniting voltage received at the posts (24) from spark plug wires (56) to the terminals (26). The terminals (26) are in electrical contact with spark plugs (44) of the ignition system (50) so that the spark plugs (44) fire in sequence.
