Not anymore and that's a sad thing .

When I was a Fleet Mechanic I learned that everything NAPA sold (apart from their crappy ignition modules for mid 70's IHC's) was the good stuff, equal to OEM .

Using the too small (or cheaper less strands) wire is a common mistake .

I always prefer the run a live wired relay to help with heat soak .

In my '49 3100 the basic 35 ampere alternator never failed to keep up with the electric fan, lights and Blaupunkt cassette deck .

I ran a tiny BCI group 26 (IIRC) 12 volt battery as it fit inside the factory underfloor battery box .

These days I'm a big believer in AGM batteries and LED's, just yesterday I relamped my '59 VW in LEDs, wow do they draw less current and just as bright as the #1129 6 volt brake light bulbs were .
