Hello,

I want wondering if anyone can tell me and possibly post a photo of what the Distributor Primary Wire should be. For example, color of elbow connector and such. I am also looking for one to purchase.
Thanks for your help.

Looked at my pictures and found what may be an interesting detail. Like other details it seems that it might depend on when the car was built.

Looks to be a blue boot for the later cars/engines
