Free Downloads Hot Rod Wiring: A Detailed How-To Guide (Hot Rod Basics)
There is one job that most mechanics farm out, that that jog is wiring. No more. Today you can pick the best components, the appropriate harness kit, and install everything yourself with help from this new book from Wolfgang Publications. Whether it s an old skool 32 Ford with a flathead for power, or a modern kustom with fuel injected V-8 and a set of airbags, the information needed to wire that hot rod can be found between the covers of Hot Rod Wiring from Wolfgang Publications. The electrical components used on modern hot rods have changed over the years. The stereo systems draw more power, and the number of accessories goes up and up. Hot Rod Wiring reflects these changes, and helps the reader determine how to pick the best components and design the best electrical system. This book includes a theory chapter on direct current electricity, another on choosing the best components, a discussion of the various harness kits, three start-to-finish installations, and a trouble-shooting chapter.

The basic content is excellent, though a glossary would be a fine improvement.Two kinds of flaws weaken the book.First, The use of many photographs is an excellent aid to comprehension. Unfortunately, many of the photos are so "tight" that it is unclear whar part of the car is shown. He leaves it unclear in what order the photos should be studied - right to left then top to bottom versus top to bottom then right to left. This causes some confusion.Second, the guy needed a proofreader. The book is riddled with little mistakes that are distracting. Examples include misspelled words, accidental substitutions of the wrong word, and occasional simple grammatical errors.If he does a revision at some point, these will be easily solved problems. These problems don't make it a bad book - but they kept it from being an exceptionally good book.
If you are buying this book to wire your hot rod with out a painless wiring harness. Do not buy this book. As it only pertains to a painless wiring harness. And when you buy a painless wiring harness all this information is included with the purchase.
Don't buy this book, it's just one big advertisement. Little details on wiring, mostly a buy this wire kit advertisement. Complete waste.
The book is specific to Painless wiring but can be very useful understanding wiring basics and harnesses made by other manufacturers. I found it to be well written and easy to understand. Learned a lot from it. I would definitely recommend it.
Straight forward in the general sense, very interesting and is really what I expected. For those doing a complete wire replacement or a specialty like air conditioning or other fairly high power usage, this book would be invaluable. For extreme detail like what solder should be used for the electrical wiring, it has few details. The major auto wire companies recommend soldering open barrel connecting joints after they have been crimped, one multi question may be what solder, 40/60 or 60/40, lead vs silver, .02" vs .04" etc. But this book was easy to read and offered many hints and recommendations that will go into my total rewiring on a 65 Pontiac. Not to worry, I actually bought this book and 2 others to cover the bases and as long as I can perform, I have the answers I need.
The most of the time, I don't pay for advertisements.I get enough from TV and radio.This time I paid for some I don't think there is one single page in this book that doesn't mention Painless wiring. I didn't think I needed to learn anything about painless performance I bought the book because I needed to learn more about Hot Rod Wiring I do not recomend this book to anyone. It isn't worth the price.
