70 Assemby Manual

I have two copies of the 70 Cutlass assembly manual from two different suppliers. Both have pages or even full sections missing. Both "fuzz out" on the bottom half of many pages making them impossible to read. It's really frustrating to have the information you need right in front of you and not be able to read it. Is there a source for a complete and legible assembly manual?

The best place I have seen to get it is http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...plate.cgi?id=8


You have to be a member but it is only $25.00 and there is a lot of good information.

+1.

There's no substitute for the original GM paper, but in the case of the AM, there IS no original, and WAC copies are at least legible.

inline tube has done a fantastic job on producing a complete correct and totally readable copy...at least for the GTOs and Firebirds..id look into that for Olds..not dirt cheap, but really reasonable..

I am a member of WAC and have looked at the manuals there online. They are more readable. The problem is, I don't have a computer in my shop so I can't just look them up when I need to.


Mark,


ILT maybe does a good job on the Pontiac books but not so much on the Cutlass. One of my manuals is form them and it's not good. They even have an introduction page just inside the front cover discussing the issue and basically saying that it's unavoidable and it adds to the "charm"

I bought a copy from Paul when the nationals were in Milwaukee 2 years ago, it is complete with engine assembly manual and pristine copies. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Paul.

Section 8 pages 135-139

I'm in the same boat. I need pages 135-139 from section 8. Does your two books have these?

Unfortunately no. Mine skips from 8 - 134 to 8 140. Even the Wild About Cars site is missing these pages.

PM Paul. I bought the 69 PIM from him and it's easily the best out there (I already had the 70 PIM - the good one)

That is a normal occurrence.

I have reprints of the 72 cassis manual. Its not bad , but the pictures are not great and the schematics are unreadable . I signed up for wildaboutcarsonline and it was money well spent.

For folks asking for a reprint of mine the problem is the price has sky rocketed out of the reach of most people. My price is anywhere from $500. to a $1000. a copy and this is from places that did print for me. Until I can find a reasonably priced printer this item is on hold.
