Re: electrical

Short answer is 10ga. Make sure when you replace it\them that you have eliminated the cause of the short\failure first, then solder the replacements(s) in. Also solder the eyelets to the link and using a good heat shrink, cover the solder joints. jim

Re: electrical

All of the wireing (red in color and attached to the alt or starter) under the hood is 10ga as are all of the fuse links.
