Has anyone ever bought one from wtwholesale on ebay? Auction #4601073096

Something doesn't make sense... its going for $5 on ebay now, whereas moparmanuals.com sells it for $125.

Any other source for these? Not the FSM, the parts manual.

Don't be too hasty to judge the CD manual by price. "Real" books are expensive to put together, in comparison to CD's. Nowadays, all the info is on a computer anyway, and it's what.......$2 for the CD and ten minutes time to burn the manual info to the blank?

I'd check the guy's feedback, including what kind of goods he's sold in the past. If things look ok, it's probably worth the chance. If it ends up being a crappy manual, you're not out too much.

The sample pages shown look good, but some of the CD manuals have muddy, low-resolution scans of not-so-good prints.
I have the factory service manual (book, not CD) for my '64, but I keep an old multi-make Chilton's that covers up to '63 only because some of the photos are printed better.
For $5 and $5 shipping, go for it.

I have one in paper form but it gets annoying, it appears its photocopies of the original and it takes 2 6" binders to house, its huge and cumbersome. I wonder if the original was like that....

Yes, they were. I worked for a Mopar dealer, in the parts department for a few years, and all manuals that we recieved were large. Bear in mind that they have to break down every model for that year and account for every part, from the front license plate screws to the rear license plate screws.

Yes but don't they usually come in one paperback book 4-5" thick wth very thin pages? One of those would be great compared to what I have.

Only the Canadian-print ones! The US items were looseleaf and very thick/heavy, and yes, the '70-'71 was originally one factory parts catalogue.

Happy New Year. If you have a high speed connection, you can download my copy Here. It's a 43-meg file, so grab it before I take it down!

I've been using a CD version of the FSM for Aaron's Dart Sport. It was produced by Detroit Iron Information Systems. I wanted to get a Parts Book, but we are about finished with the car, so it's not really necessary.
I will say that the quality of this CD is very good. The pictures are clear and everything is broken down into categories for finding topics easier.

Dan, would you happen to have a '74 Parts Book in electronic form? :wink:

Here y'go. Grab it in a hurry, please, and let me know when you've got it—I'm cramped for space on that server and so can only host one FPC at a time.
