Them have been around for several years but I have never bought one couldn't see spending more for that cap over the normal cap with the brass terminal when it don't increase performance. Looks different though.

Hell I'd take one... for about half that price! I love the concept- but geez it's just a piece of plastic?

I know a guy with a C3 that broke two fluidampers, three crankshafts and about 7 intake gaskets from running one of those.

Basically...he built a serious 355, steel crank...yada yada yada...B&M blower, B&M superjection...well, it would run good a few runs...then BOOM, backfire, blown intake gasket and ripped the damper key out of the crank.

The whole problem was the correct-a-cap arcing internally igniting plugs in cylinders with their intake valve still open.

After the third build...he put a regular distributor cap on and ran 10 second passes every weekend.
