Thanks, Geronimo, and everybody else for the input.

I'm facing the fact that rewiring my '70 F100 is no longer something to be put off.

Dang it, you would think that wiring ought to last at least a lousy 38 years!

I inquired about Painless because I visited with a guy at a car show and complimented him on his neat wiring job. He told me it was Painless, but I'm not necessarily locked in on Painless and am looking at options. I'd be lying if I said that price isn't important, and Painless (by my standards anyway) is pricey.

A former employer of mine wired in control systems at manufacturing facilities and they regularly scrapped some fairly long pieces of RHRW (heat/water resistant) wire, which I had access to. Kitz, Don, Dave, and others have discussed the importance of using wire of the correct gauge for different applications. I can now see that my use of this scavenged wire has resulted in "overkill" in most cases. I'd guess that it's better to err in that direction than to put in wires of insufficient gauge.

Again, thanks for the information, gentlemen.

Jim
