My old 67 Mustang had those Lighted Plug Wires! You could open the hood at night and it looked like a Christmas Tree in there. It did not run very well and I never considered those sparks may have been messing with the computer.

Glow sticks are not DOT approved. Use at your own risk.

Is that a serious post?

In 1967, we didn't even have calculators yet, much less computers...

The first electronic (non-point) ignition I can remember is when Kawasaki had the CDI ignition on the 500 two stroke triple. When was that? Around '72 or so?

EDIT: According to Ford's web site, they didn't even have electronic ignition until 1974.

Candles will not work in this application! They wind blows them out even with the little cups. What you need to do to is duct tape flash lights with a bad switches to the plug wires and the bumps will take care of the flashing.
