Upgrading your power cables

[Skillz508]

What is the stock guage size?

Stock is pretty tiny. I wouldnt be surprised if it was 8g.
I did the same project recently while im waiting on other parts to arrive but I used a fused distribution block near the firewall and only used 2g wire since the battery is in my fender.

The ground off the battery is probably a 4-6 gauge, def larger then 8.

I need to get off my butt one of these days, and finally upgrade a few on my beater 626 next. Ive been putting it off waiting to get ahold of a 110amp Milly alt.

Yea im thinking of upgrading once i decide to relacate my battery

is this really nesesary on these cars? do the cables really go bad

[MonoxideChild]

Not really. But if you have added alot of electronics, or relocated the battery, its a good idea.
