Distributor cap, where can I get one thats not black?

[Dom]

Hi,
The thing that bothers me at the moment under the bonnet is my new black distributor cap, I can feel the spark if I touch it!
I'm assuming i"s the conductive carbon its made with.
Does anyone know where I can source a really good quality cap from thats not black?
Thanks,
Dom

you touched the distributor cap while the engine was running ? what you were feeling was multiple 20.000 volt shocks ! unless you've got an electronic system, then it could have been 40.000 volts, that's forty thousand volts. be grateful you haven't got a pacemaker. it's not made of "conductive carbon", it's plastic, that's an insulator, try it in the dark, you'll be amazed. m.
