Yes. American Autowire provides instructions for kits in our modified restoration and street rod divisions: Classic Update, Highway, Builder, and Power Plus Series. These instructions and schematics will be included in the box with your kit. Should you lose your copy, or need an extra, instructions are available online. You can view, download, and print instructions any time, from your computer or mobile device! Click here to find instructions for your kit.
American Autowire does not provide instructions for Factory Fit® OEM wiring online or in print because Factory Fit® products are a direct replacement to a vehicle’s original wiring. As you remove the old wiring, you can literally plug the corresponding section of the Factory Fit® harness in behind it. However, if you would like a guide to help install your OEM wiring, you can purchase an original factory assembly manual from our webstore here.

All of our Updated and Street Rod Kits are set up to accept and connect to GM “SI” series or 1 wire alternators. Typically, an externally regulated unit is of a much lower output and really should not be used in a modified car. These kits are made for updated applications with higher power demands and as such, require a higher output-charging unit. Our position is, and always will be, that on a modified vehicle, an internally regulated unit is a must.

In various applications, the approach MAY differ slightly. When connecting up the positive cable that lead will eventually locate to the battery terminal on your solenoid or starter. We show you how to wire the main power feed for any of our systems to that same location on any of our instructions sets typically. Some systems may use an external solenoid such as a Ford type system, others may have a disconnect in-line, and others yet may have a pass thru type system in the firewall or alike. Ultimately though, the power will have to install onto the positive post on the solenoid or starter. As far as the negative is concerned, it is always best to ground that cable directly to the engine block. It is also imperative that the block be well grounded to the body and chassis as well.
