Automotive Electrical Handbook (HP 387) Paperback – January 1, 1987

This book is extremly well written. The explainations are simple and correct. I have begun to understand the logic of electrical circuits and their design purpose. The book has helped me modify my project car to suit my purposes without damaging the car itself! Not easy to do these days.

This book does a great job of explaining the basics of electricity and always relates it to automotive application. Then they give detailed descriptions of wiring each type of accessory. Excellent source of information.

Good info but a bit out of date. Definitely geared towards VW fans but practical info for anyone tackling a wiring porject.

After reading the first few chapters I believe that is a very good book for beginners and good reference for the pros. My intent is to rewire a 1954 Chevy truck from scratch. I have added many custom components to the truck that no existing diagram will help with. This book will assist me make the right choices as I move forward on the project and it includes enough information to build a harness from the ground up.The book is slightly dated but is still very usable especially for what I am doing.I also purchased How to Diagnose and Repair Automotive Electrical Systems (Motorbooks Workshop) which complements this book.

Very informative, husband read it straight thru the day it arrived.

Was hoping from the title of the book that it would help guide me in rebuilding an ignition system in a 70's era truck. The book however was not very useful, spent a good deal of time on theory and less on actual application of the theory. The steps for adding accessories to your vehicle could definitely be more clear. Most of the examples he uses are on a VW or pinto which would be great if that was the car I have, but not so much for other cars.

Covers the fundamentals for the first timer and for the veteran electical troubleshooter. Well planned and thought out. Really makes you stop and plan your work. Presents different approaches to problems and what may work best for you. A must have if you are building a kit car or restoring a car. Provides names o companies that you can purchase supplies to do it yourself. Dont try it without first reading this book!!!!!

I bought this book from Amazon and I am very pleased. This book explains the basics in easy to understand language.Very helpful and informative.A good buy if you want to DIY.
