Default What is the best Electrical manual?
I am getting ready to rewire my 1950 Ford Deluxe. What would be the best manual to get that an amateur could use? Thanks

You might find some in the owner's manual (probably reproduced) or the book that covers your year from the Early Ford V8 club (https://shop.efv8.org/collections/fo...book-softbound). Also check out wiring looms, I am sure someone makes them.

Charlie beat me to it, if the book is like the 41-48 book it has a wealth of information in it.
You won’t be sorry ordering it.

One of these was a big help to me.
Very easy to read and trace wires.

I have an Electrical Assembly Manual (for a 56 TBird) from Jim Osborn Reproductions that is very good. FOMOCO licensed product. Don't know if they have one for your car, but maybe a call to find out. 770-962-7556
