Wire Gauge Size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wanted to replace some of the engine harness to the starter.

My book says they are 20 gauge wiring.

Problem being that I can't locate any of that size.

Would there be that much difference in using say an 18 gauge wire?

18 Gauge will work just fine.
