Hey guys-
I'm about to begin helping my dad wire his '36 Ford using his Kwik Wire harness. I was thinking about using amphenol circular style connectors for the firewall connections, and having the engine/start/gauge sending unit wires in one connector. And having another for the headlights/efan.
I'm not sure about what size contacts to have in my connectors though... For instance: a size 12 contact may fit a size 12-14 AWG wire, and be rated at 23 amps. But would anything passing through the firewall be carrying that kind of amp load? They're available in multiple sizes within the same contact- so I guess I'm confused on how many of what size I need.
There is a 50amp charge/start/ign Maxi fused circuit built in to this harness, instead of fusable link... so that's got me wondering as well.
Any advice on how big I should go with these connector contacts? Anyone else have experience using the amphenol or cannon circular style connectors? TIA.
