Distributor moisture guard

A system for removing moisture from the distributor of a spark-ignition engine, said distributor including vents, said engine including air intake means for conducting a flow of air therethrough, said system comprising:

• a moisture guard body mounted upon said engine to be heated thereby, said moisture guard body having an internal chamber in fluid communication with the interior of said distributor, said internal chamber collecting moisture from the interior of said distributor as said engine cools from an operating temperature;
• valve means responsive to a flow of air through said intake means for selectively providing a one-way fluid path for exhausting moisture collected in the internal chamber of said moisture guard body;
• and
• means for sealing the vents of said distributor.

A device for attachment to the distributor and to the air intake of a spark-ignition engine, said device comprising:

• a shell having an internal chamber, said shell including an outlet port and an inlet port that communicate with said internal chamber;
• a first conduit having a first end connected to said inlet port and a second end adapted for connection to said distributor;
• a check valve having an inlet and an outlet, said valve being operable to permit a one-way fluid flow from its inlet to its outlet;
• a second conduit having a first end connected to the outlet port of said shell and a second end connected to the inlet of said valve;
• and
• a third conduit having a first end connected to the outlet of said valve and a second end adapted for connection to said air intake.
