I`d use a # 4AWG

I don't know the gauge on that ground strap, but I do have a 4-gauge on the shelf.

Also, don't forget that the dizzy rotates counter-clockwise to advance timing and might pull on the two wires attached to it.

All the wires have slack in them. I have extra wire through the firewall that I can pull out if needed. I did turn the dizzy to make sure there was no wire tugging, but I can add an inch or two to be sure.
