Abstract
An ignition cable terminal assembly for connecting an ignition cable to a spark plug terminal which is located in a deep well in an internal combustion engine has a handled stiffener for manipulating the ignition cable terminal assembly into engagement with the spark plug terminal. The stiffener comprises first and second members of relatively rigid thermoplastic material. The first member is a columnar arrangement of a lower collar portion which holds an elastomeric boot of the ignition cable terminal assembly, an intermediate channel portion for loading the elastomeric boot into the lower collar portion, and an upper handle portion for manipulating the stiffener. The second member is a closure member for the channel portion which including a clip for gripping the portion of the ignition cable which is disposed in the channel and a stop for holding the elastomeric boot down in the lower collar portion of the first member. The intermediate channel portion of the first member and the closure member have complementary semi-circular grooves at their respective upper ends which hold a seal ring.
