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

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

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.

Pretty generic, not giving enough info to do the work, just enough to get the general idea of how systems in general work.

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.

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.

While there is nothing entirely wrong with the book, it's so outdated that buying it is a certain waste of your money. There is literally a section that weighs the pros and cons of installing glass-capsule fuses versus GM Autofuses because Autofuses "are relatively new to the market, their prices are not yet competitive with glass fuses." Unfortunately, I did not find a book on Amazon that explained how to actually wire your car, which this book doesn't do in any way, shape, or form. Best bet is to look online for your information and abandon hope for a convenient book.

tell you what if you wanna learn about electricity not just automotive but electricity in general this is your book. It helps to lay a great foundation. I already knew this stuff but it was a great refresher, as well as a excellent info source for automotive applications. I truely feel this was money well spent.

Great book! You can really wire a custom car from just this book. Love it.
