The new Street Rod Builder magazine has a short article about wire and fuses. Look at it for some info.

Use ONLY cross linked wire like SXL.....takes a higher temp and resists oils. One source is Del City (delcity.net).

The good, correct stuff is essentially the same price as the PepBoys junk vinyl coated wire. However, the performance is not the same.....use the correct stuff. Del City has a great online ordering system....and they sell WeatherPak and MetriPak connectors for that new good wire.
