   Clymer's Manual Blue Cover

   This is a rare find: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2414234713&category=6762 It is the EARLY edition of the Clymer's Manual. For those in need of a manual that almost equals the FSM. Note, it only goes up to 1974, so as far as 260, 280 will only be marginally helpful. But, for the 240 it includes diagrams and pictures only found in the FSM. FWIW

I do not know what to make of this, when I first looked I was a bit dissapointed that they were not there because now I have no idea whether the engine was from this car or not. Maybe I am not at a total loss. Is there another way to i…
