Title: 65 HIPO primary distributor wire color
Post by: 430dragpack on December 23, 2020, 12:53:47 PM
What color is the terminal insulation that gets screwed onto the coil for the distributor primary wire, on the '65 289 HP?

   Green "eyelet" style.

I rarely have a reason to disagree with my esteemed colleague , peer, friend, etc. but the green eyelet terminal is on the service replacement primary wire.  Original 289 hipo duel point dist primary wire eyelet is typically black.

    Bob ,
       I have to say I have seen more black than green for sure. I'll change my notes ( and the wire on my original engine for 477) that I used as a reference. My apologies for misleading  anyone.
