Distributor to coil wire/boot color?
« on: January 30, 2018, 06:02:20 PM »
some say yellow wire cover at coil, some say black.
the pix of the original shelby jeff posted in other topic shows yellow.
others say all hipo's had black covers at the coil end.
1st pix below is of recently restored car.
2nd pix is a 66 hipo 3000 mile car. feb build date.

2nd pix is a 66 hipo 3000 mile car. feb build date.

Though that car may be reported as having 3K miles it appears that the car has since been restored.

In fact both cars appear to be restored cars.

Of course since this is not a Shelby detail Mustangs from this year/period should be helpful also
