Is 12 guage wire going to be enough?? I think I have 0 gauge wire in my
100amp alt. installation

Dainel and everybody,
I have done 2 local roadsters (one 45 & one 65 amp alternators) and used
just a 12 gauge wire, and I have helped a few others on the list with their
conversions. I hate to think I could be leading some one the wrong
direction by not recommending a large enough wire. I have a few thousand
miles on my conversion with no problems but I run a 45 amp alt with only
driving lights extra to power.
So, am I okay? Is 0 gauge wire really necessary? BTW both conversions I
have done were with the alternator mounted on the passenger side of the
block so the wire to the battery post is short. Does that make a
difference? What about a trunk mounted battery?
TIA,
Paul
