[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 174571, member: 4617"] For the sense wire to the RR, 16 gauge would be good. For the coil 12 VDC signal, 14 gauge would be good. A new feed to the ignition switch should only need 14 gauge, but 12 gauge is good as well. If you are going to put in a new accessory fuse block, put in a new ground bus bar as well. The better your grounds the easier on the system as a whole, and it will work better. To hook up a new accessory fuse block so it is switched, use one of the signal wires from the coils, or the sense wire to the RR that you have bypassed - relays use little power, do not care how "clean" the signal is, and are not affected by less than 12 VDC power. I just pulled the old RR and stator wiring out of the wiring harness on my '85 LTD. The red-white striped wires out of the RR are 14 gauge spliced into a single 12 gauge wire, and spliced into the ignition wire from the starter solenoid. The two grounds are spiced into a single 14 gauge wire. The stator wires are 14 gauge into 12 gauge wires. The sense wire is a 16 gauge wire. A lot of splices throughout the electrical harness. Interesting challenge once you start. Cheers [/QUOTE]
