With me... its been a love-hate relationship when I got my FIRST Haynes Manual with an "addendum" for the 1979 model.
One key point missing was the rear truck access panel to the engine bay that made it so much easier to work on these engines. For me, I had owned this car 15 years before I found it and cussed out old John Haynes up one side and down the other... Stuff that useta take hours now took only minutes through that portal!
(I still contend if you have a '78 or earlier model one needs to cut their own access port... use the later model "door" as a guide or create your own.)
Lastly, I dunno if John Haynes coined the phrase but he sure made it sarcastically "popular"...
"Reassemble in reverse order..."
Otherwise, I am indebted as back in '83 or so wwe didn't have the internet or access to the factory manuals and his were the most economical and obtainable resource.
(I still prefer the Clymer's Manuals as they usually use factory drawings and photos and also write up a "Circuit Description" telling HOW each circuit operates...)
