  • Patent number: 6475002
    Abstract: An automobile spark plug ignition conduit having an insulation terminal cap of a flexible, compressible moisture proof insulating material of a generally annular cross-section, a first open end for receiving an insulated electrical ignition wire, a second open end adapter to be placed over a ringed sleeve on the spark plug or distributor cap wire terminal and retained thereon, wherein the cap has an annular recess formed on the internal surface of the cap with concentric bands, to engage the hollow cap. The device keeps ignition wires from becoming disconnected due to engine and road vibrations. It is especially useful in racing environments.

  • Patent number: 6295885
    Abstract: A manual automobile transmission includes a non-rotating reverse gear having an internal spline in the front portion of the reverse gear and a needle roller bearing mounted at the rear portion. The bearing supports the gear and allows the main shaft to rotate without the gear turning when the transmission is not in the reverse mode. A separate splined collar is mounted on the shaft. Internal splines on the collar readily engage the splines on the main shaft and extended splines match the reverse gear splines. A small spring ball is inserted in the gear just forward of the splines to facilitate alignment of the gear and splined collar.

  • Patent number: 6244572
    Abstract: A carburetor float bowl drain screw and recovery system includes a retaining screw having a threaded forward end, an intermediate portion having a plurality of transverse holes leading to an axial channel and an internally threaded end portion terminating in a hex head. An externally threaded insert engages the end portion and includes a tapered forward portion which engages tapered internal walls on the retaining screw to effect a seal, an internal channel and a hexagonal rear portion terminating in a cylindrical end for coupling a fuel line thereto. When the insert is loosened fuel flows through the holes in the screw into the screw channel and then outwardly through the insert channel to a fuel line. The fuel bowl may thus be safely drained.
