I'll be looking into getting my hands on some of these books soon, thanks for all y'all's experience.




i agree.plus the factory service manuals pages always feel like they are about to tear.i have the chiltons book.its great for quick info.

biggest problem w/ Haynes is that often have a pic or diagram for X thing & never tell the reader what year & more.
It matter because many think right way to fix then find out doesn't apply to your year or trim level.

Just for 4 cyl Fiero...
While Duke QRG in my cave covers many issues even that doesn't have everything.
84 has way more things different then wiring issues vs 85 or 86. Like 84 has Throttle cable can't use 85-86 TBI. 86 has V5 AC "pump" like 87-88 but Haynes ignore that too & have different rules to charge the system.
87 & 88 are way different then all three & some points different from each other too but can switch whole engine & many do because 88 balancer fails trashing the motor.

Even 84 apparently has Factory Install Roller Cam engine as part of Indy Trim Level.
