I have some wire froma nd old phone cord, but i think it looks too big. So what does everyone use? Thanks for your help in advance

if it looks about right then go for it. for ignition wire i use detail master ignition wire or detail wire. for hoses i use detail master hoses of different sizes

And you might note that one of those threads I found is actually in the 'How To' Section :eek:

Most old electronic devices are a great source for wire. Just have a set of calipers on had to measure them for scaling. Just look for coils or motors. Old hard drives and/or CD roms are great.
