   The first book for the RX-7 I bought was a Chilton book.  
Are we talking about the same one, #46800?  I suppose that, 
on the general principle that it's impossible to have too 
much documentation, it's worth having, but its coverage of 
the rotary is meager.  I found the Haynes manual to be much 
more focused and much more comprehensive.  I think I 
mentioned before that this was the first time I'd found a 
Haynes manual to be the better choice.

   By all means, get as much technical info as you can; 
get a Mitchell manual - if you can find one.  Nobody does 
wiring diagrams better than Mitchell (except maybe the 
factory manual) and you'd be hard-pressed to find better 
tuning and troubleshooting procedures - at least that's been 
the case for a wide variety of other Make/models I've 
researched.
