The only pictures I have (from the Peterson archives) are B+W. I didn't ask if anyone remembers what color
they were because, well, you know......

IF they were Accel spark plug wires, they were definitely yellow.

One of my all-time favorite paint schemes and race cars. De-stroked 340 Mopar small-block.

I would agree. The Accel decal at the bottom of the front fender is their bright yellow and the wires in the black& white picture are of a lighter color.
Is there anything in the display case in the cover photo that would indicate what color wires are on it? My old eyes cant tell by looking at my computer screen.

New front fenders for the Leal B/MP Hemi Duster sectioned and tacked for additional
clearance in the front just like the originals.

The poster of this Pintrest picture stated it was a 1977 Landy Pro Stock. I noted it has an Accel sticker on the side and yellow wires showing.

May not help but....

You're probably right Charlie.

I would never think it would be this difficult to find a picture of anything Butch Leal!

Latest pre-paint pictures showing new 4500 carbs and linkage (shown on dummy motor) . Now working
on hood and scoop. Went over to Moser axle in Portland, IN Wednesday and dropped off the Dana for
some maintenance and new axles. Last photo: With the pavement done the new shop is getting there.
The electrician is running all of the conduit and installing new LED lights throughout. O.H. doors are 12x9.
