Title: 67 AC comp clutch wire 19A885 color
Post by: 67gta289 on August 17, 2023, 09:59:08 PM

For a 67 AC compressor clutch wire 19A885, all I can ever recall seeing is black insulation, and the NPD repro is black as well.  The schematic calls for wire 348 in "green". 

I recall seeing the 348 green wire extending through the firewall a couple inches, and then a single wire extension in black connecting to the wire that is attached to the brushes.

So is black appropriate or should I be looking for green?  Thanks, John

John I have never seen a green one. Regardless of assembly plant they all have been black.

May be Ford thought the green wire stood out and looked bad on the engine? Who knows.

This was not a isolated incident as the extension wires were the same colors for wires used on 68,69 and 70 too.

It's a typo. The wire is green under the instrument panel. It becomes black at the firewall. The manuals are not perfect. Very good but like anything made by humans, not perfect.
