Actually when I was talking to California Push-Pull earlier
this year they said the difference is in the outer sheath
only. Maybe they mis-spoke at the time, but the core itself
is the same from what I understand. The outer sheath on
the black/grey ones is higher temp.

seem to be of lower quality; I believe the cable cores are made of a
material with a lower melt point. When your engine is shutdown, the
temperature under the cowl rises very rapidly before cooling; the cores
partially melt and become “sticky” or difficult to move; one solution is
opening the oil filler door to allow air out. Secondly higher “melt
point” cables are available from (1) California Push Pull (2) Aircraft
Spruce (special order with melt point (Teflon) of 650 F). I have not
tried McFarlane but they may also have Teflon core.
Baffle sealing: the spark plug access hole for cylinders 5 & 6 needs to
be sealed with a small piece of aluminum tape each time access to the
spark plug is required. Curling a corner of the tape cover makes access
easy for the next time.

Instead of ordering cables with 2" throw, order 2-1/8". I ended up making it work with the 2" ones but a bit longer would have been perfect.
Also like Tim, i put a firesleeve over them, and wrapped them in a reflective aluminized jacket. I don't care what they are made of, they are not going to melt anymore. It's really nice to have smooth controls again.

The standard baffle kit from Vans should have included some back to back washers, nuts and bolts, to seal the access holes for the back two plugs.
