I agree that a bigger wire is needed. But , need to also add. Years ago, I was driving a 1967 Chevelle 4 door with 250 for a work car. 50 mile round trip daily for years. Popped in a HEI and used a jumper lead with alligator ends for most of that time to run power to the distributor. It always started! I miss driving that car.
Got pulled over one day by a State Trooper. The driver side window would not roll down, it also had a side exhaust. I had already sold the front bumper/ grille and rear bumper (they were pristine) swapped out old parts and ran without the grille. Used fog lights for turn signals. Any way, he could not believe the car would even go past the speed limit.
