Folks, Let me give you the correct way to ascertain the gauge of a wire. First count the number of strands Second Measure the dia of one with a mic. Then compare to the following chart
10 awg 19 strands of .0226 12 awg 19 strands of .0179 14 awg 19 strands of .0142 16 awg 19 strands of .0113 18 awg 16 strands of .010 Current Carrying Capacity (AMPS) 10 awg 90.0 12 awg 56.4 14 awg 35.5 16 awg 22.9 18 awg 15.2 Try the following for exact OD's http://www.awcwire.com/pdf/ct-c1-sxl-sgt-gxl-txl-gpt.pdf This wire stranding is common for most SAE applications. This is the standard that our LBC's used. Ampacity of SAE 1128 is not directly transferable to UL/CSA, VDE or CE rated wire. If you have any other questions please give me a holler! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Harris Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 9:35 PM To: Dave Chu; Kevin Rhodes; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sundry questions on Clutches and wiring.... Dave, Are you sure about the wire size?? Looking at my parts car,the 2 wires that go to the shifter are 18 ga.or smaller. 12 ga.wire would never fit through the shifter. I'm no electrician,but I do know 12 GA. is capable of handling 20 AMPS (A.C.).
