Hey guys I'm going to be helping my grandpa get this 1950 "series?" 23 deluxe Eight going. I already downloaded and printed the wire diagram (3 pages from the manual on photo stock then taped together to make a big whole car blueprint measuring 24x10")
I'm not a mechanic but I'm Handy, his memory isn't quite solid anymore at 80 years old. Iv got the motor running and quite a bit of the electrical works, but it's gotten very brittle and needs to be replaced. Im up to the task but I believe in listening to people when they know more than I do about something, so I'm planning on replacing every wire under the hood right up to the fire wall as well as the lines running to the rear of the car. And I mean every single one. The only stuff that won't be done is the stuff under the dash and in the cab, which has all survived the decades well. But I'm talking absolutely everything outside the cab, im thinking 14 gauge wire for pretty much everything right? What lines as per the diagram need to be bigger? Except the battery terminal wires obviously. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and my ignorance apologized for.
