From simple lighting issues to complete car electrical wiring overhauls, we provide comprehensive electrical services that keep your vintage automobile running reliably.
Expert Electrical System Inspections
Electrical problems in classic cars can be frustrating and difficult to trace, especially when dealing with decades-old car electrical wiring that may have been modified or repaired multiple times over the years. Our technicians use specialized diagnostic equipment combined with old-school troubleshooting techniques to identify electrical issues quickly and accurately.
We systematically test all electrical circuits, from the charging system to the ignition, ensuring that every component receives proper voltage and amperage. Our diagnostic approach considers the unique characteristics of vintage electrical systems, including positive ground systems found in many British classics and the simpler 6-volt systems common in pre-1950s vehicles.
Complete Charging System Maintenance
The charging system is the heart of your classic’s electrical network, and our team specializes in generator and alternator service for all vintage vehicles. Whether your classic uses an original 6-volt generator or has been converted to a 12-volt alternator system, we can rebuild, repair, or upgrade your charging system to ensure reliable operation.
We also provide voltage regulator service, battery testing, and complete charging system conversions. For owners looking to improve reliability while maintaining originality, we offer internally regulated alternator conversions that fit within original generator housings, preserving the classic appearance while providing modern dependability.
Advanced Ignition System Services
Classic car ignition systems require specialized knowledge, from points-and-condenser setups to early electronic ignition conversions. Our electrical services include complete ignition system rebuilds, distributor reconditioning, coil testing, and spark plug wire replacement. We work with original equipment specifications while also offering performance upgrades that improve starting reliability and engine performance.
Whether you need a simple tune-up or a complete ignition system overhaul, our technicians understand the timing requirements and specifications for vintage ignition systems. We can also perform electronic ignition conversions that eliminate the maintenance requirements of points while preserving the original appearance of your distributor.
Accessory & Lighting Electrical Solutions
Proper lighting is essential for both safety and show quality, and our electrical services cover everything from headlight restoration to complete lighting system upgrades. We handle sealed beam conversions, LED upgrades, and original bulb replacements, ensuring that your classic’s lighting meets both your preferences and safety requirements.
Our accessory electrical work includes radio installations, gauge repairs, window motor service, and convertible top electrical systems. We understand that many classic car owners want to add modern conveniences while maintaining the vintage character of their vehicles, and we specialize in integrating new accessories with existing car electrical wiring systems.
Custom & OEM Wiring Harness Solutions
When car electrical wiring becomes too deteriorated or modified to repair effectively, a complete wiring harness replacement may be necessary. Griffin Automotive Design offers both original replacement harnesses and custom wiring solutions tailored to your specific vehicle and modifications.
Our custom wiring services include engine swap electrical integration, fuel injection system wiring, and performance accessory installations. We use high-quality automotive-grade wire and connectors, ensuring that all electrical connections are properly protected and will provide years of reliable service.
We also provide wiring harness repair services for cases where a complete replacement isn’t necessary. Our technicians can repair damaged sections, add circuits for new accessories, and improve existing car electrical wiring with modern techniques and materials while maintaining compatibility with your classic’s original systems.
Custom & OEM Wiring Harness Solutions
For classic car owners who want to improve reliability and add modern conveniences, we offer a range of electrical system upgrades. These include 6-volt to 12-volt conversions, modern fuse box installations, and complete electrical system modernization that maintains the classic appearance while providing contemporary reliability.
Our upgrade services are carefully planned to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s existing systems while providing the improvements you desire. We work closely with each customer to determine the best electrical solutions for their specific needs and usage patterns.
