    For the ignorant, please explain what "Motor's Manuals" are.:confused:

    Is this just short for Motors International? or is it something else. I have searched Amazon.com and eBay and found nothing by "Motor's".

    A picture is worth 1000 words!

    This particular manual pictured below covers 1967 automobiles. It is a generic "how to" manual that came out every year and covered all sorts of stuff pertaining to autos. It covered everything from tune-up specs to troubleshooting to "ID"ing cars based on their grilles. They are very cool books and a great resource used in combo with other manuals.

    THANX , Ken !

    They're hard cover books for the Journeyman Mechainc covering (IIRC) a ten year spread of American cars . also in Foreign Car editions and trucks .
    So , each year they'd update a little bit with new car specs and drop off one year of the older info .

    Begun in...1935 , my oldest one is a 1937 edition .

    Chock full of long forgotten how to do the niggly little things that make the differance between ' it works ' and proper repairs that ensure " As-New " operation .
