Topic: Correct cable gauge


silverchief    -- 06-24-2022 @ 1:48 PM
  On my 46, 6 volt positive ground - woven ground metal cable from batt to frame is looking a little ratty, so following suggestions on this forum I went to purchase a regular cable.


NAPA catalog gives the part number for the battery cable for a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe, but when I picked it up I saw that it is 2 gauge.

Counter worker says the 2 gauge cable is fine for 12 or 6 volt.

Yea or Nay??? I recall threads on this forum re importance of correct 6 volt cable size.

  2 gauge should work fine for you.
