Automotive Wiring & Electrical Sys Vol.2: Projects (Workbench)

Description:

Countless collector car owners are skilled at performing mechanical work, but for many of them, electrical work seems like a mystery, too complicated and too confusing. However, electrical upgrades are absolutely essential for a high-performance classic car or a modified car to perform at its best. With a firm understanding of the fundamentals, you can take this comprehensive guide and complete a wide range of electrical projects that enhance the performance and functionality of a vehicle.

In this revised edition (formerly titled Automotive Electrical Performance Projects) brilliant color photos and explanatory step-by-step captions detail the installation of the most popular, functional, and beneficial upgrades for enthusiasts of varying skill levels. Just a few of the projects included are: maximizing performance of electric fans; installing electronic gauges; upgrading charging systems; and installing a complete aftermarket wiring harness, which is no small task. Each facet is covered in amazing detail.

Veteran author Tony Candela, who wrote CarTech's previous best-selling title Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems, moves beyond the theoretical and into real-world applications with this exciting and detailed follow-up. This Volume 2 is essential for any enthusiast looking to upgrade his or her classic vehicle to modern standards, and for putting all the knowledge learned in Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems into practice.

This book is a 2015 International Automotive Media Competition (IAMC) Silver Award Winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great instructional book on car wiring

B.J. · March 14, 2025

Great instructional information

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile teaching tool

A. · June 6, 2019

This hasn't made a master automotive electrician out of me but it has absolutely helped me to understand something that I've always struggled with when it comes to auto repair. If you're looking for knowledge in an understandable medium this is a great tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good general wire book

P.D.D. · August 5, 2021

Overall has good general wiring information and proper installation steps to follow on most auto systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book

F.H. · August 16, 2017

great book. ive been a mechanic for years i have always focused on the mechanical side of things because wiring can be such a pain. i hate trouble shooting wiring and don't like installing aftermarket items like radios and electric fans. this book and volume 1 have changed that. Tony Candela has managed to produce to books that are easy to read and explain wiring in a simple and concise way. i highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginners

Great book for beginner wiring applications

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and helpful.

M.S. · July 17, 2021

Very informative and helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to understand how to apply (for dummies like me)

D. · August 17, 2018

I was hoping that this book would be more of a complete guide to wiring a car. It goes over some of the elements/components, but not really the entire car. Plus, I was hoping that this would be simple to follow instructions on how exactly to wire (diagrams showing exactly how to run). Instead, this book feels like a college professor (where he is trying to teach you the concepts behind electricity, and how you should measure and calculate things). I get it, that is important for someone looking to create a perfectly designed system. However, to someone like me, I was hoping for more dummy-proof instructions. For example: if you are too lazy to calculate load, a 12 gauge wire will be oversized and work on 99% of what you need to do...and here is a diagram of how exactly to run the wire. I'm less interested in learning why...and just want to get the electrical done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explained in a easy way

N. · October 5, 2018

This book is really good and easy to understand both for beginners and more experience mechanics.i bought 3 books from him now and enjoy everyone..

Very good examples

A. · August 31, 2020

Great examples and it was exactly as advertised.

Essential book

m. · July 16, 2019

If you have a high performance, classic, hot Rod, etc., this is the book to have the high performance electrical system your car needs. There is no doubt.

If you are a builder or customizer you should own this book.

D. · June 18, 2015

A practical and comprehensive book on wiring projects. A "should buy" for professionals and amateur builders alike. Tony has an easy going writing style that is easy to follow but very detailed. He reinforces the do's and don'ts of automotive wiring and the results of bad installation techniques to help ensure your wiring project will be successful. Well worth the purchase price!

Good detailed book
