Engine Cranking Stand Wiring How to

We wired ours up like it would sit in the engine bay. Ballast resistor and all, the brand we went with was a larrin start stand. Comes with all the gauges, oil, water, amp and tach. Paid around $250 for it to my front door. Everyone says "just break them in inside the engine bay". Yeah right, that's all great until you spring a rear main leak or something then you are pulling it out of probably a fresh painted bay or car and scratch the paint. Our start stand is adjustable for all size and makes of engines, and by wiring it to be the same as your bay when it comes time to fit the engine in you are already familiar with how to wire it in. Imo of course.
