IGNITION WIRE TERMINAL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A one piece ignition wire terminal which does not require a separate spring to provide depend- able retaining force to a terminal, and which may be used either as a straight ignition wire ter- minal or a bent ignition wire terminal, is crimped to an ignition cable over only a portion of its crimping area, to increase the retention of the terminal to the cable. The terminal includes a barrel portion with an integral spring formed by cutting a generally U-shaped slot in the material of the terminal, forming a spring tongue portion, which is provided with a radial projection. The radial projection may be directed inwardly, for use with a conventional spark plug type terminal, or outwardly, for use with a conventional distrib- utor socket. The ignition terminal is made usable either as a straight terminal or a bent terminal by providing it with three deformed sections in an intermediate channel section, including inward facing deformations at the edges of the channel, and a third inward deformation of the bottom of the channel. The resulting intermediate section is not significantly weakened, and may be made into a bent section by bonding in the direction that places the third deformation at the apex of an acute angle. The crimpable area of the ter- minal may be crimped to an ignition cable over only approximately one-half of its length, the uncrimped length forming a diverging funnel por- tion adjacent the end of the ignition cable.
