I don't have the insulating plug so my wire connectors go directly to the blades on the unit. I've used #10 wire, which worked fine on the old Lucas 18ACR. Now, however, that wire gets very hot, and think it might be good idea to put a fuse in that run, which goes directly from alternator to starter. I suppose the higher amperage requires a heavier wire. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>2. The new unit makes a loud unacceptable whistle when running up to 3M RPMs or so. I've tired different belt tensions to no effect.
