looks are cool, but performance is the main thing.

It looks good at night but you cant see it when YOU are drivivg I would opt to the crossfire ignition- where there are no crossing of the ignition wires.2-4-6-8 on one side and 1-3-5-7 on the other ....no wrap around and that adds neatness to your engine compartment....my $.02

All show and no go... Clear HEI cap? Not a good thing at the drag strip. You will need almost 100kv electirc insulation to make the spark go to the plugs. REMBER THE SHORTEST PATH TO GROUND RULE!

its a novelty item it will give a nice light show 4 a well but as it gets used it gets dirty and will not look good any more this is made to show the fire at the cap its kool 4 a well but a waste of money good luck

those are mostly for show,and actually they have been around for a while,i ran one on a nova once,their good for looks, but not performance,but you can light it up at night ,there fun to look at,but truthfully you need a thicker cap,for holding voltage,those will leak voltage,and produce a weak spark,but they do look good,i wouldn't want to run one on a performance engine though,the hei distributors are good ,the caps aren't that good,hope this helps.

Clear plastic is normal as that is what color plastic is. It cost more to add color but since everyone wants clear it costs more
