color of cloth wires and stickers in the wire 1929-40

[desoto1939]

Ok:

There was a question this morning about the correct color of the spark plug wires that we should have on the old cars and trucks.

According to my catalog from Mopar that covers from 1928 - 1940 here is the information:

Spark Plugw wire Black

Now for the cloro combinatiions on the cloth covered wires

There is a specific pattern for strickrs in the wires

12 gauge wire had 3 stickers

14 Guage 1 sticker

16 gauge 2 stricker

10 gauge had 4 strickers

Basic colors used were Red, Blue and Green with the various strickers.

The catalog does not indicate hat the color of the stirckers should be for each wire size.

The Plymouth club might have this info.

My catalog also has pictures of the various connectors and proper ends that were used and the corresponding mopar part numbers.

This catalof also lists the appropriate lengths for the spark plug wires Also has the size for each fuse combination used on the cars and trucks.

The proper spark plug end was the exposed metal L shaped end and not the rubber boot style

I have this catalog on CD.
