- Really, the Haynes Seems much better, I just chucked my Chilton, (well its in
- a corner somewhere) that tries to cover 17 years and 4 Major modeltypes of
- "Z" cars its about 10 dierent cars at least 240Z, 260Z 280Z, 280ZX, 300ZX
- plus the turbo'ed and unturbo'ed models, some with carburator, some w/o.
-
- It was next to useless for anything. Had no diagrams, and was fairly sketchty
- on MANY points. Plus seemed incomplete or lacking on certain things.
-
- Anywya, I see the Haynes manual for the 280ZX ('70-'83) looked through it
- a bit, it has COMPLETE CHASSIS WIREING DIAGRAMS! I Immediately bought it
- Its great, much, much, much, much better than that worthless Chilton.
