Good morning out there fellow C3ers,
 
Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July.
 
I would like to know what you recommend as the best all-around AIM/Repair manual
to purchase and where is the best place to purchase it from?
 
Not that I am any mechanic for sure, but I'd sure like to know what the mechanics are talking about when they work on my 78.
 
thanx for your replies.
 
mike aka mk's78

The assembly Instruction Manual(AIM) shows how to assemble the vehicle. It gives information on what goes where, and part numbers that were used at the time.
The Factory service Manual is the best for repair information.
You can find either/both of these on ebay, and some of the mail order parts people also have them.
