I tried to use SSIS to import huge fixed width text data but I am confused of how to select data source:
1) What format do I select? I select fixed width, is it ok?
2) Under data source panel, do I need to go through columns, advanced...
3) How to set row and column delimiter?

You first need to create a flat file connection. When you set that up, a wizard will pop up and there you will be able to set row and column delimeters. Once you build this data source then you will be able to access it through data flow.
