Shop manual for 1972 Spider

Post by LetsGoMets »

Been looking around and I can't tell if there's an official shop manual for the 1972's. Found the Brooklands and Haynes however was hoping there was an official manual to reference. If not what's the consensus for the best manuals for this year?

Thanks,

Midwest-Bayless has one that looks very similar to my older Fiat Shop Manual,...it's actually nicer, since it's spiral bound,...
I'd certainly recommend that one.
I think the Fiat shop manuals cover all years of the 124. They cover fuel injection and have electrical diagrams.
Happy Motoring!
Todd.

EDIT:
P.S. I am wrong. Both of the Shop Manuals that I have found online are for 1975-85 and seem to not cover previous! I'll keep watching,...

There is an early shop manual that covers the spider and the 124 and 124 special. It has some supplements. I forget what vendor I bought it from. It's definitely not as easy to use as the later shop manual dedicated to the Spider.

Here's the base manual without the supplements on eBay. If you search around various vendor sites you should be able to find it as well.

Thanks AJ. Certainly is a little confusing trying to piece together all the supplements. This helps though, Thanks!
