Spark color

What is the color supposed to be on the dist. cap? Im having problems (see post in 73-79 called "Spark???". The color on on the lead wire from the coil to the dist. cap is yellow, but my grandpa told me what color it should be and if its the other one then you dont have a very hot spark and the ign. module needs to probably be replaced. I cant remember what color he said it should be. Does any one know?

AWESOME....its yellow and now I think I might know what to do lol. So replace the ign. module, correct? If it were the coil it would be all or none right? Just wanna make sure before I go off and get one.

Keep in mind a fouled plug may spark out in the open, but be completely different under compression.
