Thank you, John.....

I just ordered one.

Question: Do you leave these clear distributor caps installed, or do you only use them when when working on the ignition?????

I see 62 of these have been sold, so far......but, no reviews yet! I'm hoping this is a quality item.....but, I bought it anyway, because I've been wanting one of these for some time now.

No kidding?.....Well, if I'd have only known, I'd have bought one from him instead!

It's a done deal now, though.

Well you did get free shipping.

I see no reason why you couldn't leave it on if you wish. I left mine on so I can see how it holds up. I have an older one that has stress cracks so I was only using it when checking things out.

I use it only to demonstrate how the distributor works, otherwise I stay with the original. Others have said the quality is poor and some do not fit well.
