The situation is similar to a thick versus a thin water hose - water can flow more easily in a thick hose. In the case of a thick wire, there are more places where an electron can go through.

Does thickness of wire affect resistance?

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Yes, the thickness of the wire does affect resistance. Thicker wires have less resistance because there is more space for the electrons to flow through. So, if you want less resistance, go big or go home with those wires.

Where does the fabric coated resistance wire attach inside the car if you are converting from points to a HEI system and need to replace resistance wire with 12 gauge stranded wire?

eliminate the resistor wire all together but you want to run a new larger 12 gauge wire into the same circuit , in order to do that you need to take the fuse box down inside the car and you will see where that resistor wire ties into a big wire in the fusebox, it comes from the ignition switch, you need to tie into that big wire with your 12 gauge wire that you have run from the HEI.

How much does a 1 diameter aluminum wire weigh per foot?

The weight of a 1-inch diameter aluminum wire per foot depends on the specific alloy and temper. On average, aluminum weighs about 0.102 pounds per cubic inch. You can calculate the weight by determining the volume of the wire, using the formula for the volume of a cylinder πr^2h, and then multiplying by the density of aluminum.

Why does a 3 pin plug have big ground pin?

Resistance =pl/a where a is "area". And area is directly propotional to lenght and thickness. so if the area is greater mean resistance is less. and resistance is inversly proptional to current. so it will act as low resistance path for neutral current.
