I've been upgrading my electrical system on the stang, I've installed a 3G alternator and purchased some 4 gauge wire and some 0 gauge to work with the new T spec power block. I thought I was getting copper wire but what arrived was very flexible and fine stranded copper coated aluminum wire. Have any of you guys used this stuff? I remember when they used aluminum house wire and that was not good.
I also purchased a Stinger multi connection battery terminal set and will run the 0 gauge down to the power block that has MANL fuses in it. The 0 gauge will be about 1 foot long, That is the fine Aluminum stranded wire however.
Also have any of you used a ferrel to crimp on the end of the wire and then clamp down on that instead of just clamping straight onto the wire?
Thanks
