Hotrod | Race car | Drift car Wiring for Beginners. (Alternator Battery Switch Fuse Box Starter)

*PARTS LIST IN DESCRIPTION BELOW*
In this video, I show the basics of wiring for a hotrod, drift car, ratty muscle car or race car. I include how I wired a GM 3-wire 10si / 12si Alternator, along with a 12v automotive fuse box and a starter circuit. I used 200A Cole Hersee Relays power the fuse box and the starter. I discuss the differences between a continuous use vs non-continuous use solenoids, and the importance of using diodes. In general, this video covers car wiring, race car wiring, alternator wiring, automotive wiring, how to wire a car, car wiring basics, wiring a car, fuse box wiring, hotrod wiring, and ratty muscle car wiring.
