'73 Starter Wire Gauge??
I have searched and I have discovered a conflict in answers.
L-48//4 speed//Air conditioned//Points//Condenser.
So--
Here we go--
"S" terminal--purple wire--gauge?
"B" terminal--small red--gauge?
"R" terminal--yellow wire--gauge?
And--
What size are the "eye" terminals that connect these wires to the starter?
Thank you,
Bob

Do you have a wiring diagram???
The size of the eyelet hole is the one that will fit it. When you get the starter out....you will see. I do not know what size right off the top of my head.
The purple wire is a 12 gauge....I do know that.
The small red is more than likely a fusible link...and NOT a wire....but I do not have my wiring diagram with me.

Thanks, DUB.
I do have a wiring diagram from the 1973 Service Manual.
This is what it indicates:
Purple=12 gauge.
Small red=12 gauge.
Yellow=20 gauge.
The problem is that I have seen MANY write ups that indicate other gauge (usually thicker) wires are being used.
I thought I might be missing something. (Not that unusual for me!)
Be safe.
