Technical topics

EFI Diagnosis

Troubleshoot your Electronic Fuel Injection system. This was an add-on to the Service Manual, now scanned and made available for everybody.

'76 - '79 body parts

Original bodypart numbers with drawings.

Frame diagram

The exact sizes and locations to check if the frame of the car is perfectly straight.

Electrical troubleshooting

I bought the '78 and '79 'Electrical Troubleshooting Manual'. Scanned the images and put it online.
