Claim Text:
1. A method for forming a composite ignition device for an internal combustion engine, comprising: bonding a positive electrode with a first insulator to form a firing cone assembly, said positive electrode including a tip formed thereon; embedding a negative capacitive element in a second insulator and attaching said second insulator to said firing cone assembly; wherein embedding the negative capacitive element comprises allowing the second insulator to completely flow around at least one scallop of at least one flange of said negative capacitive element; coupling a positive capacitive element to said positive electrode in said second insulator, said positive capacitive element separated from said negative capacitive element by said second insulator, said positive capacitance element and said negative capacitive element forming a capacitor; disposing a resistor in a resistor insulator; coupling said resistor to said positive capacitive element by a resistor connector; coupling an electrical connector to said resistor; attaching said electrical connector to said second insulator; attaching a shell to said second insulator and said firing cone assembly, said shell including a negative electrode having a tip formed thereon, said negative electrode tip spaced apart from said positive electrode tip; and coupling said shell to said negative capacitive element.
