Please help identify type of wire
it's one wire attached to the firewall and the other end to the intake manifold. each end has a metal ring where a bolt or screw would attach it.
gotta be some kind of ground?
the wire is old/cracked and has a partially melted case. looks like a fire hazard to me. need to know so i can order or replace it.
thanks!

It is just called a firewall ground. Texas Mustang has them for $5.95

BTW, the picture of your vert shows up as a red x. Check with cardomain to see what happened.

RE: Please help identify type of wire
Hi early!
I did not see it in NPD catalog. I found it in Virginia Mustang's Catalog. I use them a lot. Phone number is 1-540-896-2695. Web address is WWW.VaMustang.com It is called a "Engine to Firewall Ground Strap". Theirs is a Exact repo w/ all the markings. Part number is WG-8 for '65-'67. Gonna get one too. Mine sucks.

RE: Please help identify type of wire
Hi early,
I finished up with my 4 barrel upgrade. Came out nice. Right now I am on hold fer a while.
My next project will be either exhaust trumpets or Fog lamps.
I do have a question of you don't mind. I have put in my request to Santa fer a rally pac. Would you know if the one for a A code would be the 8k or 6k version? I know the K code would be the 8k not sure about the A. Another question. Is the anti-sway bar on a GT 13/16 or 15/16? Also I checked out Cardomain. Seems their server is down but I don't have the same problems as Soaring.
Thanks, Walt

Be careful when buying trumpets, there is alot of repo's out there that are junk. NPD has a better although more expensive version you might check out. I think you want the 6k but I would make a post since I am not 100%. You also will probably need the "low profile" version if you have the GT five dial instrument cluster. From what I know, the 65 GT sway bar was 13/16. That is what I have on my car. Good luck, keep me in the loop!
