Hot Rod Wiring

The one job that even the most knowledgeable DIY guys farm out is the 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 yours is 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 you need to wire that hot rod can be found between the covers of Hot Rod Wiring.

Author Dennis Overholser has designed hot rod wiring harnesses and components for Painless Wiring for over 20 years. After putting in 8 hours a day designing components, Dennis goes home and helps friends install the wiring in their hot rods.

Covering 144 pages, this book includes a theory chapter on direct current electricity, another on choosing the best components, a discussion of the various harness kits, and a chapter on batteries, starters and alternators. Near the end of the book are three start-to-finish installations, and a trouble-shooting chapter. In addition, the book provides a number of schematics that show typical starting, lighting, and charging circuits. You don’t need an expert to do the wiring on that hot rod or classic car, you only need one book: Hot Rod Wiring from Dennis Overholser and Wolfgang Publications.
