wiring your car, some links and info

[grumpyvette]

anyone who has built or rebuilt a few cars has eventually needed to re-due or install wiring in a car, if you have the factory color code , and wiring charts and its a pre-computer controlled car . lets say 1970 or older, in most cases, its usually not all that complicated if you know how to use a multi meter, and your sure to have eventually come to understand the importance of running several good frame and engine grounds.
once you get into the computer controlled cars of the more modern era you'll need to have a trouble code scanner and a much more detailed understanding of electronics and how to read schematics
but its still not something the average guy can,t do, its just a lot more time consuming and in either case you'll want a factory shop manual as a reference

unfortunately that type of electrical wire, repair work is almost a fore gone expectation with an older muscle car,
but with patience and a decent 350 -400 watt solder gun and some, flux, lead/tin solder and shrink tube its repairable,
just be sure to slip on the shrink tube insulation, and clean and flux the connections before soldering
