Hi Bruce,
For this type of alternator, it is the cross sectional area that matters. I wrote a little program a long time ago which you can use to convert the U.S. AWG size to square millimeters for comparison as well as calculating the resistance and some other stuff which might be of use to you. It is in VB 6, so it will only run on Windows. It is small and stored locally. Rich
