Re: [Amc-list] 64 Rambler Classic question

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

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.
