There would be almost no difference in wiring between a '66 and a '67. Minor differences only. Me, I generally prefer paper manuals, and I try for originals rather than reprints, because I've generally been able to find them less expensively.

I prefer the original factory manuals. However if you need it in a hurry, and can't find an original, or price is a factor, the ones on disc, are better then none. I do not like ANY of the "generic" manuals.

I always prefer the paper manual. While a CD is portable the viewing apparatus is not so accessible when one is under a vehicle. I like to get 2 years on each side of my vehicle year in addition to the actual year. Seeing the evolution of changes gives me insights into what mfgr's found wrong or right. WIth electrical diagrams I have had to hold 3 years side by side to match my stock wiring to the diagram. And, oddly enough I find the Fargo manuals among the best for wiring and pictures. Dan, is there an A100 Fargo manual series for various years?

...not to mention the mods that might've been made from "not quite the right year" parts dragged home from the wrecking yard over the years!

There are sometimes differences between the US and Canadian manuals, though IME the content is about 90% the same with regard to identical parts and systems.

I'm sure Chrysler Canada did publish FSMs for them. I don't have any of them.
