Title Change *Ignition wire colouring*

Help 1973 F-250 Ranger 4x4.....> Does anyone know what color the stock ignition wire is that runs from the back of the key switch through the firewall and onto the coil?
I'm told it is a resisted wire. I changed to a hotter coil that requires 12V. and need to replace this wire (390 V8 4spd.)

Thanx for the posting advice.
Do you know of any posts that may help me with my question on the color of the resisted ignition wire that runs to the coil.

Just bypass the resistor wire with a wire from the switch to the coil.
