I suppose such a calculation would be nice if in fact every one of the items
in the fuse box are carrying current at the same time. Generally such a
calculation is not needed since such is not the case. However, those who
wish to calculate the resistance of a parallel circuit should use the
following: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1+ 1/R2+ 1/R3 + etc. John Trifari. Golden Gate

Would really need to know, first, the total amperage of all the items you
want to install
on a particular circuit.
But...12awg should be big enough for anything you could possibly want to
install in a Healey.
