Claim 1

An identification apparatus for selective application to and removal from the ignition wires of an internal combustion engine comprising a planar substantially circular body having generally parallel surfaces with selected indicia thereon, a pair of pliable arcuate sections connected at one end to one edge of said body and extending outwardly therefrom, said arcuate sections defining a substantially circular clip adjacent to said body, said clip having a generally circular opening extending therethrough along an axis generally normal to the plane of said surfaces of said body, the other end of said arcuate sections being spaced from each other a distance less than the diameter of said opening, a guide prong connected to said other end of each arcuate section and extending outwardly therefrom in the plane of said parallel surfaces, said guide prongs having flat diverging guide surfaces for guiding an ignition wire into said opening, whereby an ignition wire having a diameter substantially corresponding to the diameter of said opening is guided between said prongs without causing damage and said wire spreading said arcuate sections apart so that said wire may be received within said opening.
