Bob, you bring up a good point. For the benefit of those who may not have access to the 'older, thicker wire', have you or anyone else done a rough comparison of suggested wire gauges for the various applications on any given vehicle? That might be useful to some here trying to bring their old girls alive again (trucks I mean, not wives ).
