Default Wiring questions, just real simple.

Howdy everyone,
I'm swapping a 6 liter into my cutlass, and have almost all the wiring figured out, but was noticing the injectors have pink wires run to the bulkhead connector in groups of two. I was wondering what ampperage I should run through those wires, and should I keep them in groups of two, or is it ok to run them all into one point?
Thanks
Tim

The factory runs two 15a circuits to supply power to the injectors, I suppose you could hook them all together but if anything shorts out you are totally dead. By using two fused power circuits they have at least allowed a bit of "limp home" protection to the injectors.

i grouped my injectors and coils into "left bank" and "right bank" with a 10A fuse for each bank.

Yup, and on my '01 harness that 12VDC circuit also feeds the ignition coils on each bank. 15A fuses on each bank have done me fine for a year now.

you'll want to keep them apart and fuse them seperatly.
