Default My experience with American Autowire

We'll I battled the question of who to go with when it came down to wiring my latest project. I have used others in the past with success, but was intrigued to find out more about AAW. After contacting Theresa, see had me talk to Michael Manning, owner of AAW. Once I was a little more educated on their products and how they are built, it was a no brainer IMO. I ordered their Hwy 22 kit & a few other accessories they have to offer. Their products showed up about week later. Let me just say the workmanship alone is the best I have even seen IMO. Everything about their products SCREAM quality.

If you are in the market for a wiring kit. Give AAW some serious consideration before pulling the trigger. Great products and even better people to deal with!!

I enclosed pics, but like the saying goes.."Pics don't do it justice"

I REALLY like that terminal block arrangement on the fuse block (left vertical side)...NICE.

I saw another endorsement for them elsewhere and that too was shining. I will have to look them up and price them out when I get ready to wire my '70 'Bird.

Looks like we ordered the same kit. I couldn't be happier with the quality. Did you talk with him about Ground Wire/Straps for the car. Man did i get an education there. They are one of the best companies IMO.

You would not believe how many hot rods we fix because of grounding issues...............people miss the boat HUGE and the vehicle suffers and runs like crap everytime. I have had cars increase 1/4 mile times cause their electrical system sucks.........not huge but every little bit helps..........

Ground is where it all starts............with out it you got nothing......

I did get educated very well with their products. Michael and I talked about lot of things including grounds. I work for a Utility Power Company, so I know the importance of proper grounding. As some have said, grounding is everything. I'll re-iterate once again, First Class operation over there @ AAW.

I'll keep you posted with progress Theresa. Thanks again for the help.

Looking forward to the updates... thanks Brent.
PS - did you ever hear of a character called Stifler? I forgot what movie he's from...
