What color should the spark plug wires be for a 37,120C? I have had the car for three years now and it is time to change out the wires as they are getting brittle. The exiting wires are yellow/orange snake skin. It seems to me that maybe they ought to be black? I see that Max Merritt sells wire sets. Does anyone know what color the sets are?
Thanks for the help,

Black lacquered fabric unless Flackmaster says differently.

Agreed.".but I prefer an insulated end at the spark plug....cuts down on fire risk...

Just some FYI the yellow/orange patterned wire is called Oak.

Thanks for the information. Does anyone know of a vendor that sells kits ready to install? I would prefer to buy a set of correct length wires with terminals installed then starting from scratch with a coil of wire and some loose terminals.

Max Merritt sells a ready to install set that matches the originals in every way.
