Guys, I've searched a bunch of battery cable threads but I'm coming up empty. I know stock the cable between batteries is 2/0. Battery to starter is 3/0. What I can't find are the stock sizes for battery to starter fender solenoid, fender solenoid to starter motor, and alternator charge wire.

I had all this worked out at some point but I think I've either forgotten or screwed up. I bought a roll of 6 AWG cable but I'm not sure where all I intended to use it now besides the relocation of the GP relay.

I know bigger won't hurt but if someone can tell me what stock was, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Alt stock was 10 ga. Batt to solenoid was 8ga on the 89. I have 4 ga to both now, 6ga will be plenty,

Thank you Russ! I have been reading all morning and that's pretty much the conclusion I had come to.
