67Cadi Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I bought a Chilton's Manual for Cadillac 1967 to 1989. It's just a bit vague for what I am wanting. It doesn't show the drum brake configuration on my '67. Bit it does show a nice "typical" layout for a drum brake! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> What would be a more accurate service book for the car? I have seen a couple of Shop Manuals on e-bay, but haven't come across one for the '67. Is there a source for a reproduction of the original shop manuals?Thanks!Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67Cadi Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 Thanks Bob!! I'll have to give them a call! If you don't mind me asking what kind of a ballpark price would one expect to pay for a manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6219_Rules Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Yes, thank you, Bob. I really need a set of manuals for my 1947. I have the two reprinted soft copies (the 42 and 46/47 addenda) but I would like the others. There ARE others, aren't there??<img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kinker Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I hope so. This outfit regularly lists manuals in E-Bay. Had a catalog of their manuals some time back, but it has been misplaced. The books that I have gotten from them are very good. Afraid to guess price, I got mine at an E-Bay auction. Hope they have what you are looking for! Good luck, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67Cadi Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hey I got 2 service '67 manuals! I bid on one from California, and then found one in the same area I live in! So bid won the local one and picked up the book Monday, then I just got a note that I won the second one! They are awesome great detail and troubleshooting charts! Looks like it will be a great reference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6219_Rules Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Oh there are all sorts of related material...wiring plans and bullitens but honestly I do not know what they are called off the top of my head. Sounds like you are on your way to gathering all the fun stuff! I found a period (40's) electric shaver by remington for the 110v and the 6v systems with a car adapter. It still has all the booklets and stuff....wouldn't that be fun?I was bidding on a stop light prizm too but it was a little costly so I let it go.I have a picknic tray for the car and I am looking for other little silly things for the '47 Cadillac.<img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
