service manual

hello boys and girls: What's the best service manual out there? I have a factory one and I got the one on a disk but I still find them very hard to find stuff?

I will probably get laughed at, but I still have a Chilton manual for my TR that I reference every now and then. They are great:

Buick Regal and Century Repair Manual 1975-1987 by Chilton Manuals

Scroll down and you can get a used one for chump change. The used one even has a TR on the front.

I can't imagine there is much difference between the new and old cover books. Maybe they updated a few things here and there, like fluid change intervals.

There is nothing better than the factory manual but it's better to have a hard copy rather than one on cd. Easier to find things. JMHO

hello people; I do have the OEM 86 Buick manual and it covers alot more than the Regal. I tried to separate the Regal stuff but it's getting old and I still think it's a pain to find stuff. I took a look at the disk and that's the same. But as with my MC's I have I would get the factory one, Clymer and one more but I forget the name. It's funny you would find some things better from one to the other.
