[net.auto] '61 Valiant shop manual

ccrse@ucdavis.UUCP (Steve Ehrhardt) (10/11/85)

I am attempting to restore one of my two '61 Valiants, and would like
to find a factory shop manual for the breed.  I already have a 1960 shop
manual, and have seen a 1961 'supplement' manual for other Plymouths of
that year, but since the Valiant was considered a sort of a separate car
line in the early years, it wasn't included.  I would like to know if
(a) there was a separate manual or a supplement for the 1961 Valiants, and
(b) if anyone knows where one might be obtained?

Of course, any other information regarding the cars, literature on them,
and sources of parts, would be appreciated as well.  (Please, no flames
regarding my taste in cars!  I know I'm working with a car that Motor Trend
labelled as being among the ugliest ever made, but I happen to *like* them!)

Any other closet early MOPAR fanatics out there but me?

Try a vintage Chilton's. They have always been adequate for any work I wanted
to do. Sometimes libraries have these.
