Method and system for a unique material and geometry in a high temperature spark plug extender

Abstract:

Methods and systems for a unique material and geometry in a high temperature spark plug extender and may include a spark plug extender with a conductive core encased in a liquid crystal polymer where opposite ends of the conductive core are not encased in the liquid crystal polymer. A coil may be coupled directly to the spark plug extender. The spark plug extender and the coil may include threads at a first of the opposite ends of the conductive core for the direct coupling of the coil to the spark plug extender. The first of the opposite ends of the conductive core may include an O-ring that provides a seal with the coil. The spark plug extender may include an insulating wire that is coupled to a coil remote from the spark plug extender, the insulating wire extending from an end of the conductive core.
