Hi
Being new to the spider - and this forum -I am looking for a shop manual.
I have the Haynes but I am not impressed. I am not experienced with car repairs and need clear "dummy" instructions/illustrations.
I have purchased several download manuals from the internet and the quality is terrible. They are obvious poor scans from the originals manuals and the pictures are useless.
Does anyone offer a high quality copy or even a NOS original.
thanks guys

I have this one:
http://www.international-auto.com/repai ... 975-on.cfm
It's available on-line, but the on-line versions have pictures that are so dark they are useless. This one is my "go-to" manual for anything I do.

The pictures in the printed one I have are good. I downloaded one on-line (you can find them if you search), but found the pictures to be almost useless.

Re: 1976 shopmanual
I have ALWAYS found the Haynes manuals lacking for any car, even for a fairly experienced backyard mechanic. You have to guess a lot of steps. I have the same shop manual from IAP. Some pics are a little dark but still discernible. Couldn't do without it.
