65 BB non radio plug wires

[Bill W.]

After reading David C thread on LL plug wires I have a question Did the radio and the non radio 65 BB use the same spark plug wire ? (except for the braided shield) I guess GM wasent worried about the car next to a non radio Corvette or the neighbors TV. I still have the original coil wire from my 65 BB it has "tvrs lr 4 Q 64 H with the lightning bolts between the letter groups .

Both radio and non-radio-equipped 1965 Corvettes used TVRS plug wires. The only difference was the external braiding for radio equipped cars.

1967-69 L-88 did use wire with a stainless steel core, though.

Re: 65 BB non radio plug wires

Not sure about '65 but I ordered a set of of radio delete wires from LL for a 66 BB radio delete car and the ends that attach to the distributor cap are straight up vs. right angled for the radio suppression wires (they need to fit under the distributor shielding). And, of course the radio delete wires did not have the braided shielding per your comment.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply that the wires were of identical configuration except for the braiding, just that they both were TVRS.
