    Clear distributor caps

     



    Whats the scoop with these things? Never actually seen one on a car. They must put off quite a light show at night...

    Clearly the right choice.

    These distributor caps from Mr. Gasket not only look cool, but they also provide twice the dielectric strength of stock caps. With these distributor caps, you'll have no more arcing or shorting, and they won't "carbon track."

    I ran one years ago on my pro stocker---worked very good and no carbon tracking or ionizing of the air causing mis-fire

    I have run a clear blue one on my trike for 5-6 years, no problems.
    Mine shows to anyone behind me and it does look cool at night.

    will they work on any distributor? My distributor is an ugly brown putty color. really does not set off well against the rest of the engine. are they pricey?

    just type in clear distributer in google and a ton of sites that sell them will come up. The picture above was from Mr. Gasget. Unless you have a wierd rare engine the probably have something for you!
