The autolite plugs I installed yesterday do not appear to have a removable cap, so I left them on. But I know I have contact between the wires, because when I pull a boot off, it makes a difference (I dedect a change in the running of the engine). Also, the old plugs I pulled had caps on them. Also, keep in ind that the car ran really well with plugs in it with caps for thousands of miles since I bought the car. I would like to hear from others regarding the caps.
