What were the engineers thinking when they ran starter current through the tiny 20 gauge wires???

In all fairness most cars from this era and earlier used high current ignition switches not just 914’s.

The starter solenoid yellow wire is about 11 gauge

If you have 20 gauge wires there is something wrong.
