Default Index for 1970 AIM???

When I restored my 75, a few members here directed me to purchase an AIM. Great advice. Great help. What made it SOOOOO much easier to reference was an index that I found online for it. I printed it, put it in the binder that held the AIM itself, and boy was it useful.

I did a search for a 1970 index, as I'm preparing to restore my new toy, but no index appears to be available online. I found a dead link from a Robert Luis in Argentina that at one time had provided one. But it is not accessible at this time.

I'd really like to have an index for this 1970 project, too. Anyone have a working link to or existing copy of an AIM index? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. As always, many thanks in advance!

I'm with you Stroh. Hope someone can come up with an index. My AIM has the holes punched on the horizontal edge of the pages, yet the pages are meant to be bound on the vertical edge. One of these days I'm going to bind them properly.

Is this what you/re looking for?
I know there are different revisions of the assembly manual out there.

Here's an index that I use with my '74.
The page numbers are close (within a few pages) but it gets me close to the page I need to see.

best resource i ever bought was the AIM on CD pdf's.

you can print off the section your working on, take it to the shed, get it dirty, throw in bin when finished,
and still have a pristine copy's for next time.

Thanks Peterbuilt! That's very similar to the one I have for my 75 AIM.

Thanks Redvette2. I have a hard copy of the AIM that's in a three-ring binder for easy garage access. If I take one of my laptops into the garage that thing will get smashed for sure. But thank you for the efforts.

BINGO. Thanks very much, Dennis! (130+ pages... it'll need its own binder, but that helps a lot. Thank you.

THANK YOU! This forum (the c3 forum, in particular) never fails to impress me. A very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful group. Honestly, it's one of the reasons I so enjoy working on these beautiful cars. Thank you all!

MAYBE links to AIM indexes should be a sticky? The AIM itself is a copyrighted piece, but a compilation of indexes might be super helpful to members here. Any thoughts?

Copyrighted....Hmm.

Years ago I applied for a Job at XXXXXXXX publishers in MA. For those of you who are NOT German car guys...they are the official maker of assembly and service manuals for VW/AUDI/PORSCHE (Sorry I said a dirty word! LOL).

Ps I can draw like a bestid!

Me to my prospective boss; So what do you want me to do?
Him; See all these illustrations, thousands of them? Your job is to change them ever so slightly so we can break the copyright. You can omit things or flip them around...just so they're not the same.....

ME; Thanks for the interview........

Edited the name out...even though this indeed is EXACTLY True.

As a professional writer and writing instructor, I know all too well the nuances of the copyright game. It's actually pretty disgusting. Nonetheless, a sticky with all the AIM's would be useful, but definitely would cause the forum a ton of grief. Indexes on the other hand... those privately created helpful tools... that will work.
