Hi all,

What are the correct Original Assembly Line type spark plugs wires for a 67 Shelby GT500 built at San Jose 1966 December please?

Autolite Radio Resistant with dates identifying the production quarter of the year they were produced. Pictures of some of these details (date related) are in the decoding date code article in the library

A Dec 66 build may have a plug set that was prior to 4 quarter 66. Jeff do you have any BB wire sets in your picture collection that have a 4Q66 date code? A early set would also black boots.
