Title: Big Blue Book Service Manual 1959 - 1967
Post by: scoot on August 09, 2019, 17:33:03

I seem to have 3 extra Big Blue Books for the 1959 -> cars.    All in good (but not coffee table) condition.  $75 each plus shipping.

In some ways but you really need the later volume that covers cars 1967 - 1973.

What most people say is that you need both. The early one has information that is not repeated in the later volumes because it is the same. Mercedes typically only printed it in the later volumes if it was a new information. Very confusing and I have both for my '68.

Want to know how to place the rings on a piston while your rebuilding your engine? You won't find any of that info in either of these books. You would have to go back to the 190 work shop manual to find that.
If you want to work on all of this old stuff you need a lot of books to cover everything. Most of it is useless until you need it.
