Electrical and Instruments Manuals

Electrical and Instruments covers the wiring, switches, gauges and accessories that make up a car’s electrical side. The library holds manuals from 1918 to 1965 here, including an installation booklet, wartime service handbook, factory repair manual, service bulletin, training newsletter and accessory wiring diagrams.

Manuals here include the 1918 Stewart-Warner Speedometer booklet on fitting the road wheel gear and flexible shaft, and the 1943 United Motors War-Time Service Handbook on repairing batteries, ignition, generators and gauges. The 1953 Chevrolet Power Steering and Autronic Eye Repair Manual covers the automatic headlamp dimmer, and the 1957–1965 accessory wiring diagrams for Ford, GM and Chrysler cars show power windows, seats and tops. Restorers and mechanics tracing wiring will find these helpful.
