A complete wiring guide for beginners. This video covers everything from 6V vs 12V, ignition coils, starters, diagnosing no spark issues, distributors, fuses and relays. I use a Jeep in this video, but the overall concepts work for pretty much any vintage engine from a Chevy 350 engine, Model A, etc.
