Default Buy a shop manual! Best investment you can make!

Hi all,
The best money you can spend is on a shop manual for your year of car. All of the Mustang parts guys have em. They are pricey at around 45 bucks. They get down to the nuts and bolts on everything!!!! Carbs, front end, engine, you name it.

Another valuable piece of literature is the original assembly manuals.....Very helpful and about 17 bucks a piece.

I got the full set for 1972 all 6 volumes original printing at carlilse for $45. You don't usually find the 6th volume it has the light user maintenance stuff. I think I am going to be looking at picking up some of the assembly manuals at fall carlisle. Great investment.
