Wiring on 27 Standard

[Old26Buick]

I need to rewire my 27 Buick Woodie. Most of the wire is destroyed. What gauge to use for each circuit? Thanks

I have info on 32 buick wiring, size, length, connectors, and color weave patterns if this will be of any help. Just let me know.

I rewired my 1923 McLaughlin Buick myself using the wiring diagram in the little shop manual. Was not that difficult. I just called Rhode Island Wiring RhodeIslandWiring.com and got the correct wire and connectors. I did use their armored cable wire also for the light circuits, and they came out well. They were very helpful also, I just told that what I was doing and they recommended the size of wire. I then bought the wire in bulk and cut to length. Of course they sell the complete harness for what you want if you are so inclined.

To unimogjohn,

Thanks for info, I have been down toRhode Island Wiring before and have bought from them a few times. I have their catalog. I guess I will use 12 gauge for headlights and battery to ignition. Then 14 gauge for the rest. I'm going to install a 6 Volt headlight relay so the juice will go directly to headlights instead of through switch. Also going to mount a 6 volt horn relay under dash. Thanks
