65 FI Ground Clip

[John M.]

At our September chapter meet my rear grounding clip on the distributor shield got a deduct for being black phosphate. The judging manual does not specify a finish and the only one I could find in Nolans book was black but it was for a 63. What finish is correct?
Thanks,

John,

I think the cable ground clip for FI cars is supposed to be black. The clip for cars with carb would have been zincad.

Thanks Michael,

I won't change it. I hope to have the car judged at our New England Regional in May and will have some more questions for you guys before then.
