Shop Manual Suggestions

Post by SpiderJim »

Just new to Spiders and now have two of them. 80 and 81 2L FI's. Been trying to find the best shop manual. Have one but it is crap due to having several different Fiats covered in one manual and provides basically no info and terrible diagrams, pics etc. Any suggestions for a high quality one which is focussed on the 124 Spider and nothing else with clear pictures and good mechanical how to do it's and where I can purchase it?. Thanks much Jim
P.S.

Some seem to be reproductions thus the photos are barely clear?

Generally I suggest getting as many sources of info as possible, at least 3 different books. The factory manuals available now are all reprints and the pix are very dark. But, it's still a good source. For the Fi models, the Brooklands version is decent. I think you'll find that each manual has strengths and weaknesses, thus the need for several sources. Once in awhile an original factory manual shows up on ebay
