I have seen black with different color tracers, and tan with different color tracers, yellow with tracers etc. Was there a standard color or did they use what they had at the time? Also I have a question about the length of the coil wire. The coil is only a few inches above the distributor. Was the coil wire a straight shot up to the coil, about 3" long, or is it about 5" or so and bends down around the other wires?

The coil wie was longer due to the constant turning back and forth of the distributor. Last edited by Chev Nut; 11/03/18 10:57 PM. Gene Schneider
