E166124 cord *does* have color-coded insulation.

Ah, no, it doesn't. Let me show you what I have.

This is the cord that came out of the garbage disposal that I am
replacing, so I assume it is appropriate for the job. The dead
disposal is about 7 years old.

It is hard to tell from the picture, but the neutral should be the
wire with the factory markings on the insulation. I don't see any
markings in the picture but they should be there.

The best way would be to test it with a tester. (go ahead and clamp
it in the J-box on the disposal to hold it in place) The wire that is
hot will go to the black.
