Description
Review this item in the context of the repair, installation access, nearby parts, and the result the completed job is intended to achieve.
ACCEL 8123 Cap and Rotor Kits create an impenetrable barrier to arc-through and crossfire. Specially designed to combat the severe demands placed on high-output ignition systems in GM V8 engines, these black HEI Coil-in-Cap style distributor caps guard against the high temperatures and surges of spark current that can melt molded components in OE caps. Made from a high-performance 60kV-rated alkyd compound, they’re stress-relieved immediately after molding to ensure dimensional stability. Highly conductive, corrosion-resistant brass inserts and stainless-steel rotor springs allow unrestricted spark-energy flow.
No structured vehicle fitment data is available. Compare the listing with the vehicle and existing part before ordering.

Good solid cap and rotor. High quality, brass terminals. Rotor I got is black. Do yourself a favor, never buy a cheap H.E.I cap and rotor

Went right in. Not being something I do very often it was nice that it was OEM and was able to install it with the new wire set and plugs. I used the old coil with no problems bolting it on.
DADDEO –
The price was good and the quality seems like they are well made. The parts also fit well and don’t take Long to replace.

It is a quality Accel CAP
David –
For the price this isn’t bad, plastic feels a bit thin though. Fits the original HEI parts perfectly.

Great value for the money. Its a distributor cap that looks and firs like the original. Great product.
John S. –
I was looking for a stock looking cap and rotor set for my performance engine. I chose this for that reason and also the brass terminals and rotor blade. The rotor blade is NOT brass as advertised and is steel. Steel can become magnetized and accumulate metal dust which is not desirable in the ignition system. Product is not as advertised.
