best repair manual

zeke491 · Jun 20, 2010

sorry to say it but I lost my chilton repair manual. Since I have to get another one I'd might as well upgrade. what is the best repair manual? Helms? Factory? Since I'm not the most experienced with car mechanics, I need a good one.

Thanks,
Tom

I like the Haynes Manual. Pretty good info for the average backyard mechanic. Good reference for doing basic work, with insight on getting into bigger projects.

My opinion...some of the other books get a bit in depth for the weekend warrior...however they are nice to have.

Always the search button on here...these things aren't new, not much that can go wrong with them hasn't already.

Good Luck!

Haynes and Chiltons are pretty equivalent. The internet is the place to go for more advanced stuff. There's a ton of info online for our pushrod motors.

I lost mine as well so I just went on ebay and bought a used Dealer service manual. Waiting for it to show up but I wanted something with more detailed info.

My service manual showed up today and I can honestly saw it blows Chilton/Haynes manuals out of the water. The detail it has is amazing, wish I would have bought one years ago. I also like that is pretty easy to follow and not over whelming. I got real lucky since the manual I bought it pretty freakin new for being a 15 yrs old dealer service manual. Get a service manual off ebay they are worth their weight in gold.
