Clear Distributor Cap

[Werner]

Katy,

I'm wondering, why the tie wire on the distributor body terminals?

This is made with hard fuse wire from aircraft maintenance and a drill pliers. The reason is that the remanufactured contact strips from the distributor arm to the spark plugs have too less spring tension to lie tightly against the spark contacts.
The wires I drilled are bent down in an S-bend and are tight.

I just received an email from Mike's today and they have the clear caps in stock.

I just received an email from Mike's today and they have the clear caps in stock.

I ordered one, I'll post some pics when it arrives.

Who remembers clear spark plugs? You could see the colour of the flame in the cylinder which is very useful when tuning the carby.

Mikes is currently selling them at $12.95. I don't see them as a permanent replacement but rather as a means of displaying how a distributor works by showing the spark sequence. A club member hooked one up for me and YES, it was interesting and instructive. With a temperature max of 176 degrees it probably is not practible for permanent use, but rather as a teaching tool.

I'm thinking that I saw where Mike's Afordable now carries these once again. The following from a recent ad:

Mike's has had the Clear Distributor Cap Reproduced in Non- Script. Made from an ABS material - high impact resistance and temperature rating of -4 to 176 Deg. F. Now you can watch your spark jump from the rotor to the distributor body contacts!

A12115C - $12.95

The cutaway one would be good for setting the spark gap between the rotor and body with everything in place.

 

[fundytides]

Just got a bulletin from Mike's. He has them back in stock.

 

[Bluedevil]

Mike's just advertised they were back in stock. $12.95

Anyone seen one of these for sale of late? I'd love to have one or two, but none of the vendors seem to have them

Does anyone have any extras they'd be willing to sell?

Mike's Affordable sells them.

 

[Clem Clement]

I have them. How many do you want?

[wwirz]

I recently saw an article that Mikes Affordables is selling these clear caps. I seem to remember $14.95?

 

[Ruth]
