When I bought my '68, at first I let the dealer do all the work, 
because the car was under warrantee (2 years / 24 months.) After that 
ended, I continued with the dealer for a couple years, until a bad 
experience taught me that there were some things I could do as well 
or better than the dealer. 

During those years I looked around for a decent manual, buying 
several, but never being really happy with what I could find. The 
best of that era was a plastic bound edition (so you could wipe 
grease off the cover with a rag) that came out of England.

Eventually, I came across the brown Bentley. I still remember my 
astonishment when I first looked thru it. It had real photos, real 
data, real wiring diagrams for each year, and it covered the fuel 
injection in detail. I bought a copy immediately. That was a first 
printing,  new for $12.95!

I still have that copy. It's falling apart now, but I don't dare buy 
a new one because the old one has all my notes in it!
