Im assuming wed want to be seeing Radio Resistant wires on Gt350s   what would be the proper spark plug boots.   Has anyone ever seen Hipo  SX wires on one of these from factory

Yes, radio resistance on 67 GT350's just like 65 and 66 GT350's. Too many vintage photos and survivor examples to come to any conclusion but Radio resistance wires was most typical on GT350. Of course if someone has reasonable evidence of SX wires on their specific GT350 and not someone else's car it would be considered . Black boots would be on no date code wire. FOMOCO at the beginning of production and transitioned to Autolite later.  Orange boots are most typical on later smog engines . If orange boots on non smog engine they should be date code appropriate for engine build date. At least that is the consensus at this point until more conclusive evidence suggests otherwise.

All of the original sets of non date coded wire sets I have seen had the 3 angle boots .

Do we know the approximate transition date [range] to Autolite plug wires?
