Now I'm shopping for a diode recamended by Mallory to stop alt. feed back after ignition is turned off. and a a length of 8 gauge wire with the tough and higher temp crosslink insulation.Some places stop at 10 gauge and another skipes right over to 6 gauge. I found a source for the Alt quick connectors that Painless supplies(with only a 12 gauge wire crimped in). Never did get a rating on what a 12 wire would handle.The metal contact has 10/12 stamped into it.I can stick a #8 wire in .It's snug and the strands have to be straight but no cutting any strands.the contacts are rated by manufacture at 75 amps.#8 is a big improvement over #12
