Smart! It will save you a lot of headaches and will certainly make repairs quicker.

Not to hijack this thread but still in the same ballpark . . .

Does conventional wisdom still dictate that the best ( i.e., most complete and easiest to read) copies of a C2 AIM are to be purchased from the NCRS document store/section?

I know that many copies of the AIM for all years seem like they have been copied many times (a copy of a copy of a copy etc.) and are difficult to read and some (or perhaps many) copies are actually missing some pages.

Just curious about your take on that C2 story as I have heard this to be true. (Like a 67 BB hood on a 67 SB car - factory installed)

Some say the NCRS is the best. I have Willcox versions and they are fine. In the case of the 61 they even included identical 62 pages because the 61’s pages were illegible.

Thanks for the good insight Frankie.

Not asking necessarily for myself but for new to C2 owners who have not as yet purchased an AIM and really should do so.

Cheers.

Mid-America owns the rights to printing the AIM, so everyone's is a copy of theirs. I have a '67 AIM purchased years ago from NCRS that was missing more than 70 pages.
