Abstract
A spark-plug wire includes a boot of electrically insulative material defining a central bore configured to receive a spark plug, an electrical connector disposed in the central bore and configured to connect with the spark plug, and a cylindrical heat shield circumscribing the boot. The heat shield has retaining features extending past a distal end of the boot and configured to radially flex to engage with a hex of the spark plug to increase a retaining force of the spark-plug wire to the spark plug.
