Default Ignition Cable

I currently have the thin stainless steel covered wire and a Nurex look-a-like pop out switch. For a more authentic appearance I purchased one of these short cables.

I'm thinking about cutting the existing thin cable under the dash (I prefer not to remove my freshly plated instrument panel) and connecting it to the wire in the shorter armored cable using a quick disconnect. The disconnect would be in the cab under the dash. Since the repro head stud clamps do not tighten down on the armored cable if I need to remove the distributor I can simply disconnect the wire and slide the armored cable out.

This is the type of disconnect I am considering.
"Suitable for 12 and 14 Gauge wires. The system is rated 0.05–16.0 VDC, 0-20A. Rated from -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F"

Does anyone know the ignition wire gauge?

Also, any thoughts overall?
