Book Information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Category: Corvair Technical, Fix-it, and How-to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Publisher: Autobooks, Ltd, 1972.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description: Fairly good instructions for tuning and servicing your Corvair.  Written by British automotive writer, Kenneth Ball.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Review / Comments: Better than both Chilton's and Clymer's, but still no match for the Shop Manuals.  In fact, nearly 100% of this book's content is derived from the original Chevrolet Shop Manuals.  The only real difference is that the photographs in the Shop Manual have all been converted to line drawings and the information concerning "Special Tools Required" (at the end of many sections in the Shop Manual) has been removed.

I suppose that when the book was first published in 1972, if a Corvair owner didn't know where to go to order a copy of the Shop Manual, this would have been a decent alternative.  However, with excellent reprints of the Shop Manuals available from the vendors, this book should only be of interest to collectors of Corvair literature.

 

 

 

 

 

Other Information: After I had purchased this book from a used bookseller, I saw a copy of it on eBay.  Both the design and color of the eBay book's cover were significantly different, as shown on the right.

I suspect, but have not confirmed, that the eBay version is the the 1972 First Printing.  The volume I purchased was the 1978 Second Edition.
