Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I would recommend that you download the factory manual for your year off the internet. You can then print the pages you need and take them to the shop. Email me with the year and I can help you.

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.Dale R.
