I'm going to run a 12 Gauge (600V insulation) wire from my fuse block (the IGN terminal) to my pos. side of the Flamethrower coil that I'm about to install with my Ignitor kit for a full 12V in place of the exsisting resistor wire. Is that a big enough wire to handle the load? Or should I go 10 gauge? This is for a 1970 Ninety Eight/455. Also I have spare points, brand new in the box. While I'm in there should I replace them for the hell of it and set dwell first or not needed. Thanks. Tom. Also, should I upgrade to 8mm wires too?
