11 early ones (pub 1989) engine mostly

Thanks for the help over the years,

      Bob sent me what appears to be all of his manuals. I need to pass these on after attempting to get Bob's attention via email and post.

      Had I known these green books were older books "reprinted in 89" I wouldn't have asked for them; they are duplicates for me.

      Please contact me benstein at cleanflametrap dot com.

      I am reminded of a story from years ago when GM throttle body fuel injection was a new thing on cars. A customer had his two-week-old Cadillac towed into the dealership with a "no-start" problem. For two weeks, every technician at the dealership worked on it trying to start it but to no avail. We checked for spark, compression, timing; pulled codes; set codes; checked fuel pressure; checked to see if the bumpers fell off... Every conceivable thing was done to this vehicle we could think of and still no start. Finally, one of the techs decided to check the fuel spray/pattern from the throttle body. He got a bit of the spray on a piece of paper, tried to light it with a cigarette lighter, and it did not ignite. The tank and fuel system were drained, filled with fresh fuel, and the car fired right up.

      After contacting the owner, who then spoke to his younger children, it was discovered that the kids were playing "gas station" with the new Cadillac and garden hose. ---Bruce in Oregon via Rock Auto

          Hi Art,

          If you are still stuck with those green book segments I have the space to keep them as I have the 1978 Green Book set that I bought in 1978. It came with several Green ringed notebook binders that sorted the group booklets into fixed divisions or categories.
          I have plenty of room inside of each binder for storage. They take up the same amount of space on a shelf.

          I didn’t buy every single booklet offered, in bundled offerings at the time, as it has divider cards labeled, as expected, for some missing group numbered ones.

          When I saw the new Bentley manuals I could see how they instantly became a bargain.
          If this wait time goes on, without interest from others and you get really tired of having them lying about, I will pay for any shipping and your Benstein handling fees! (:-)

          Maybe there will be something left to update my dusty green book?

          Phil

            Free 240 Service Manuals - a few left yet 200

            "I have plenty of room inside of each binder for storage."

            Phil, my binders are stuffed to the max. I have yet to pass on a few green books from Bob's gift. The Bentley, Haynes and some other green books are on their way to Matt in SC.

              Hi Art

              Just thought I would offer a solution if you needed it.

              I sure love the way to do your pictures, it tells the story simply and accurately!

                    Hi Art!

                    Ok just went out to check for mail from Saturday and the manuals were there! Thank you!
                    Or as my Father-in-Law would say, “thank you until your better paid!” He also would my goat by saying, “ I would rather owe you, than beat you out of it!”

                    I can see I have reading in my future!

                        Great car. quirky, rival to Volvo in the 60s.

                        the later 304 was FWD (same era as the 504 RWD, pushed a neighbors car on an ice covered street in my 1971 304. Snow!!!! laughing down the unplowed---passing Swedish Iron spinning wheels.

                          Hiya Uncle CeeBee1!!!!

                          Thank you for the refresher on Peugeot auto offerings.

                          I like the French Peugeot and Renault autos of the vintage variety yet have very little direct experience with these. Yet like them as much as the vintage UK cars that some use the Lucas electrics so good at "sucking in the dark" through lighting versus delivery illumination! Volvo electrics before early FWD are very Lucas electrics like at times. Dim headlights on a 940.

                          Error 404 is a generic webserver error, yet no need to press a button to see the OBD-1 error code on your 1989+ NA RWD Volvo, indicating the page or artifact the web user seeks is no found. In place of the generic web server erorr 404 item not found, our Uncle Art made the image:



                          I went to see the image of the Volvo service manuals and Art removed the image after the he announced the manuals had moved on to others' possession.

                          However, I like the Columbo series and the car Peter Falk drives in his various made for television series and films. I like Peter Falk in the film Castle Keep also.

                          Did not like the Ms. Columbo series with Kate Mulgrew. Better on ST:Voyager. Yet ultimately did no care for the spate of Rik Berman revision and aesthetic since his Next Generation. Deep Space Nine was okay. Yet the ratings to sell tv adverts got in the way, as with this newest Discovery series. Sort of like what Disney did to finally ruin these final three Star Wars films as led by Jar Jar Abrams. Lucas did a great job lessening his creation with the prequels as with the Fantdumb Menace onward. Prequels are so banal including the character dialogue.









                          Here is Art's how to when you want to post image links for display in your brickboard threads.



                          Be swell to get that remote technical writer job at Johnson Controls. Though I can tell I'll be excluded from this role.

                          I have to ask who or whom do I have to kill to get a job with all this Syndicate secret society Zersetzung and J. Edgar Hoover cointelpro us 'targeted individuals' suffer, as I do for nearly thirty years?

                          Sure Happy time moves on. Or does it?
