:iagree: Anyone have any tips on finding what you are looking for in the AIM?
Recognizing this organization helps a bit. As mentioned, I think someone did put together an index for the 69 AIM which you can purchase. Not sure about other years. :) MJ

Re: Free Technical Advice (Indy Year 25)
I would have been lost without the AIM, Chassis, Overhaul and NCRS 68-69 guide.
Here's an idea you could label the AIM sections with tabs. I have a NEC code book thats labeled this way.

Re: Free Technical Advice (Doc Rebuild)
Well said Doc! Finally a post I can agree with 100%! :D
I've got a whole library of manuals for my '72 and even bought the repro owners manual just in case. You can never have too much written data and resources to consult. If I can't find an answer or diagram in one manual, I can usually look in the others and find it. Besides, they make great reading while sitting on the "throne" :lol: :lol:

Re: Free Technical Advice (DJ Dep)
Good tip MJ.
I have also added dividers, and find that very helpful.
:iagree: I have also found that consulting different manuals often makes it a lot easier to understand a project. Sometimes slightly different wording of the same statement will turn on the old light bulb.

Dep,
On a long winter's evening nothing better than a warm fireplace, a cold Guinness, a comfortable chair and a Corvette technical manual to pass the time ;) .

Re: Free Technical Advice (dennis-trapp)
Anyone have a link to those indexes?
Thanx
Thanx
here is one for the 1970 AIM, although I have to admit it doesn't look exactly like what I think of as an index... I guess you can use the "find" feature to look up any item and get the page number... :) MJ

I had to do a little memory refresh - I have a problem forgetting things! :lol:
My 68 AIM has MidAmerica Designs logo on every page, and I didn't buy it from them. They are the ones who sell the indexes for every model year AIM, at 9.99 each. I have never seen their indexes (sp?) so I don't know how useful they are.

After eating any Taco Bell, stay as FAR AWAY from the fireplace as possible or you'll warm the whole neighborhood! :D
