That's them. The CSM looks like may be a photocopy that's been put in a binder. Unless it's really cheap I'd hold out for one still in its original softcover glued binding. Ask the seller if it has COLOR wiring diagrams and ask for a pic, and ask if it has all sections and pages. If it doesn't it's a copy.

Thanks. Is a Fischer Body Manual for 25.50 in good condition a good buy?

$20 is better, but as long as it doesn't go over about $35 for a nice one you'll be OK. The CSM is more important for what you need to do right now. The body manual covers things like seats, glass removal and installation, body mouldings removal/installation and power window/seat wiring.

Thanks. I just bought a really nice 78 CSM for 15 dollars including shipping from an old member of here whos not on anymore. He has over 400 manuals hes putting on ebay. I can't wait to get it! I am buying a 78 FBM for 15 dollars from him as well. Problem solved! Now to find a place I can keep the car at and work on it. Or convince the rents to let me own the garage for a long time...haha

Update: FBM bought, that and the CSM are shipped as of yesterday and on their way. I hope to see them monday, but I probably won't see them till tuesday or wednesday. After I get them, I have lots of reading to do.

UPDATE: I plan on buying a completely new engine seeing the block is cracked on mine. My mechanic friend told me fixing my current engine would be akin to doing upside down open heart surgery without a scalpel. Anybody who hears of an olds 350 DIESEL for sale somewhere PM me or post it up here. Thanks.
