GENERAL INFORMATION
Individual carline shop manuals have been combined in one Car
Shop Manual divided into five volumes for 1969.
The 1969 Car Shop Manual has been organized into general
Groups as in previous shop manuals. All Groups are listed in the Group
index on the first page of each Volume. Groups not contained in a
given Volume are listed with a solid gray background.
To locate the beginning page of any particular Group, first select
the Volume containing that Group. Bend the manual until the black
mark on the first page of the Group can be seen in line with the Group
title on the first page of the Volume.
The first page of each Group lists the material contained in the
Group under Part headings and also lists the beginning page of each
Part.
On the beginning page of each Part, there is a Part index which
lists in detail all information appearing in the Part, the page where
the information is given, and the vehicles to which the information
applies.
All pages carry a six-digit number which indicates the Group,
Part and Page number.
For Example: Page 03-02-01 indicates
Group 3, Part 2, Page 1
Part Indexes will use only the Part and Page reference numbers.
For Example: Page 03-02-01 will appear in the Part Index as
02-01.
Each Part will start with Page 01.procarmanuals.com
