Abstract
A rigid sheath for a spark plug cable and its associated boot is provided by combining two lockable components, each of which is mutually symmetrical along the axial direction. The rigid sheath includes a lower portion structured to interlock with the boot and an upper portion structured to route a portion of the spark plug cable through a bend of substantially 90.degree. so that it is kept out of the way of structures within the engine compartment. Because the rigid sheath combines columnar strength, a handle and an interlocking relationship with the boot, easy installation and removal of the spark plug cable and its associated boot in relation to a spark plug is made possible, even where the spark plug is surrounded by nearby structures such as a deep well of the engine.
