New transparent Distributors - Honda Prelude Forum

L-U-R-C-H · 10-07-2003, 04:05 PM

moroso now offers performance distributors with a transparent cap! I saw this in the new HCI magazine. This may be a worthless mod but it would still look pretty cool. Here are a few pictures:

ooo, kinda cool i guess. As long as they don't fog up after using them for a while

i remember hearing something about these being available for our cars a while ago (years) but they were discontinued.... or something like that

Yeah, clear dist caps aren't new. But I guess it's cool to look at under your hood at night. *shrug*

I am guessing that it would be lit up then? Because as the rotor spins, it creates spark so am I right?

yessir

i wonder how bright the sparks would be...

how much we talking?

rogera04 · 10-07-2003, 11:16 PM

I need a new distributor...i might as well get this if its not way more than stock ones...

do the sell the transparent caps separately? i will be replacing mine soon.

L-U-R-C-H · 10-08-2003, 12:10 AM

They do not make the caps separately for our cars. I noticed they have only made them for the B series engine. I am guessing and hoping they will come out with the cap by itself though....

Do these fit on 5th Gen? I thought the distributor of 4th and 5th Gen are the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Does anyone have confirmation on this? I was looking at the caps and rotors at majestic honda's site and the part #'s are the same for 92-01 H22A's. These seem kinda cool and i need a new cap and rotor anyway, but I wanna make sure there aren't any reasons they only specify 92-95, which as im sure you all know the 96 is a 4th gen as well, BUT is obdII, so i was thinking this is little more than an obdI-obdII emissions thing.?. Could this cause a c.e.l.?

Si_g · 05-21-2004, 06:11 AM

i need one myself, i dont see the price anywhere, but i m callin 2day to find out, they have 3 dealers not to far from me.

L-U-R-C-H · 05-21-2004, 09:14 AM

Back from the dead!

jsmooney · 05-21-2004, 11:03 AM

i may consider getting just the cap, but could you see the brightness from outside the car with your hood closed? i dont want anyone thinking my motor was on fire

wait, if you cant get just a cap, how will you replace the cap if you need to? buy a whole new thingy? thats ghey

Brody · 05-21-2004, 08:33 PM

I believe manchester honda sells just the cap for like $29 @ http://www.manhonda.com/ap/index.cfm...pid=1043&tab=0 , but they don't list the prelude just the civic, teg, and accord..., butdoes anyone know why moroso only specifies 92-95 though...prehaps i should be asking this in the 5th gen forum?

brendon2k · 05-22-2004, 12:20 AM

I might have to get one when I replace my cap and rotor soon.

anything to do with OBD1 vs non-OBD1?

Thats what i said in my first post, but i'm not sure. It's the only thing i can really think of though.
