I've always found the Ciltons to be too generic. Of course I grew up living 100' behind the AMC dealer my dad worked at! So when I need info, I just walked down and pulled the TSM I needed! Chiltons takes a working car apart to write their books, any copying of the original text is copywrite infringement. I guess they can gather specs for clearances from the TSMs though? Anyway, taking a working car apart is not the same as designing the car, then writing the factory TSM. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II " Chronic Pain Hurts" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> > -- Thomas Garner <Tgarner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > If this is it, I have this one, it's just mine is falling to pieces.
