- a voltage in contact attached to the body member;
- and
- a distribution contact attached to the body member and overlaid the voltage in contact, wherein the distribution contact is substantially coaxial to the axis of the shank portion.
An injected molded distributor rotor attachable to an upper portion of a distributor shaft, comprising:
- a shank portion having a first end and a second end axially opposite the first end, the second end having a shank recess formed therein such that the shank portion can be press fit onto the upper portion of the distributor shaft;
- a body member attached to the second end of the shank member;
- a voltage in contact attached to the body member;
- and
- a distribution contact attached to the body member and overlaid the voltage in contact, wherein the distribution contact is substantially coaxial to the axis of the shank portion.
