Spark aura around the boots

Hi guys

I have had an issue with my MSD wires and boots burning on cyl 1&3. I bought some Firecore wires from Ron and they have worked great (no melting yet) but the other night I pulled my car into my shop and I tried checking since it was very dark. I noticed after my eyes adjusted that there was a blueish aura around every boot/ plug? No lighting storm like I have heard it described but more of a glow. Is this ok or normal?

That's interesting Scott  :scratchchin: I've never noticed that before but in all honesty never looked that close under those conditions (pitch black)

The lightening show usually corresponds with a misfire as the spark jumps to ground because the boots are compromised.  :yesnod:

As long as it's running good I wouldn't worry about it.  ;)
