Ah-ha so that's where all the diagrams went. 200

Good old Haynes used to publish all the diagrams in older European editions, including those for North American models. At it's worst, nearly 2/3's of the mid 80's edition was revisions.

Yes, I have no complaints about their 120 and 140 manuals -- nor even the 240 edition for 1974 thru 1990. That one served me well till the Bentley came out.

But I will never condone their method of (stupidly, IMO) referencing Section Numbers rather than page numbers in each chapter's content list. No doubt it makes revisions easier for them, but the text-processing software from the '80s used to handle page number updates OK as I recall.

Nor do I think much of slipping the (incomplete) OBD I text into the "Emissions and Engine Control" chapter instead if the more relevant FI and IGN chapters as Bentley has it.

IMO, the Bentley's organization and ease-of-access alone make it well worth the price.
But that's just me. An old and grumpy fan of Andy Rooney.
