I am currently working on my '68 Starflite...it needs some wires replaced that are old and brittle going to the power pack and a few other components.

I have the wiring diagram and the majority of what I need to replace is calling for 16 gauge...all I have in that gauge is green and I would like to use red (which is what it's supposed to be).
I have red 14 gauge...will that be fine to use?

I would think it's fine but in case these motors use the wires as some sort of fuse able link I thought I should ask.
