I will be soon doing a wire tuck on my car. I have the engine and trans back in for mock up purposes to get lengths and overall figure out how I want to run all the wires. I know many have to be cut down or extended. Can I go a gauge bigger on wires that may be brittle due to age and don't know the specific gauge? Such as if a wire is 18 gauge, can I just replace the entire piece with 16 and be fine? Also saw something like this involving the alternator. Does the entire alternator section need to be a bigger gauge due to being extended?
