OE spark plug wires

[moparfanUSA]

Did the 69 440's come with black wires or orange wires from the factory?

flat black wires boots at the distributor were black and boots at the plug were red, I think

plug wires were black, plug boots were orange and distributor boots were black.

Great, thanks. I was told they were all orange and I brought a set, now I have to find the right ones.

they sell oe dated coded ones for around $90.00
I put them on all my restored cars.
They say the date code in 4 quarters so you can get the correct date code on them.

Heres my A12 RR survivor with original plug wires. Check out the yellow lettering on them.

Thanks, I found them at year one, but when I read the fine print, they say cannot be used with Electronic Ing.

Sure they can. i ran them in my 69.5 super with electronic ignition.

Don't see what the difference is....electricity is electricity and it doesn't know what kind of wire it's running through. There are different kinds of plug wires and it all carries the juice.

Just so long as they're not solid core wires. They'll wreak havoc with an electronic ignition.

Is it the same as radio static when running solid core? Something I used to do is run a carbon coil wire and solids on the plugs and the static went away. Go figure.

Yeah, Bunch of years ago I tried to run a set of Accel solid core. Couldn't time it worth S#!T. Ghost sparking left and right. Gotta use radio suppression wires with elex ign. Suppresion wires (and resistor plugs) are no big deal. Any halfway decent ignition system will punch right through 'em.
