Ignition Wire

I have a 12V 1929 roadster with a dual point Mallory distributor and an after market ignition switch. I am trying to determine what type of wire to run from the ignition switch to the distributor.

Thanks

Re: Ignition Wire

From the ignition switch to the coil, not to the dist.

Actually, 16-18 ga; 12V requires only half the current of 6V. And you could run it dist - switch - coil if you want, but armor is not a bad thing.
