I was given a OEM Owners Manual '74-'78 on loan from Paul Valente to aid in my engine build. With it, I copied each page individually and edited them to make each page white and crisp again using RawTherapee as well as PowerPoint. There are still signs the pages were copied from a 40+ year old book but the images present really well.
Would anyone be interested in helping to fund some remakes of this manual? I have been in contact with a printing company near my work that could print them in 36lb weight reinforced 3 hole punch paper. The weight is approximate but the pages feel borderline cardstock. There are a few pages requiring 11x17 like the original as well as 1 page with color (engine & vehicle coolant lines diagram perhaps). Binding will probably be in a 3-4" white 3 ring binder unless I specify unbound to do it personally.
I have not yet received a quote per book yet but wanting to get a feel for takers. Like every custom order, price might/should decrease with quantity increase.
Also, we could add pages that members have created to the books. I have done wiring diagrams for the major mods that I have pursued: BWM, HRM, addition switch activated radiator fan. Would there be any suggestion for additional pages?
Thanks,
Andrew Kimball
