still not sure what kind of car your working on, on a 63 plymouth most of the wires your talking about are 18 gauge

most wire looms are wrapped with tape from the factory, and not some sort of slip over cover

Maybe wire wrap is the wrong term. This is the black braided hose like material that encompasses several wires usually ending just before a light socket or plug. I've seem it in rolls but it comes in different diameters.

So the first section of wiring I want to tackle is the wiring from the truck up to a plug under the dash. This includes tail lights, license plate light and maybe gas level indicator switch.

Have to guess on what you working,(car) but stock wire wrap does not come in sizes, it comes on a roll,,,,,,,, if your diagram does not have the wire size on it, please tell us what your working on, and someone can give a recommendation as to size

Now, I have a wiring question (or two). I don't particularly want to buy a new wiring harness for my car but I do have a bunch of wires I would like to replace. I have a nice colored wiring diagram but it does not indicate the gauge size of the wires. How do you determine the wire size? Is all the wiring the same size?

I see that the stock braided wire wrap used on the factory harness is starting to crumble. Stock-like material is available from several sources including Year One but comes in many different diameters. Does anyone have experience replacing wire wrap on their cars?

Thanks,

Vic
