Abstract
A coupling for connecting the end of the camshaft of an internal combustion engine to the drive shaft of an ignition distributor. The coupling comprises a drive coupling member that is fixed to the drive shaft of the ignition distributor. The coupling member has a pair of axially extending lugs that have surfaces that engage surfaces formed on a pair of lugs that extend axially from the end of the camshaft. A spring member is fixed to the coupling member which has a pair of curved spring portions that engage other surfaces on the camshaft lugs and which serve to prevent backlash between the shafts.
