Your DeLorean Workshop Manual (the "Tech Manual") is one of the best resources available (not perfect by a long shot, but very very useful nonetheless). I would supplement it with contemporary Volvo issued B28, CI, and CIS factory literature (in English, vs Renault and Peugot in French), and the Bosch K-Jetronic manual. A DeLorean parts manual is somewhat useful as well. Haynes, Chilton, and the like are what I affectionately refer to as "reverse of procedure" manuals -- disassembly instructions are often cryptic at best, followed by the ever helpful phrase "reinstallation is reverse of this procedure." Those manuals cover way too much ground in too few pages. For example, I have a single Haynes manual that superficially covers ALL Lincoln models built between the years of 1970-1996. Compare that to my 1977 or 1978 Ford manual sets (5 books each year), or even better the Electrical/Vacuum manual that covers 1978 Lincoln Mark V's exclusively (in stunning detail -- Ford outdid themselves with that one!). Even though AMC was essentially building only one car by the 1980's, my 1981 AMC factory manual is 3,000 pages long (2.5 inches thick). Compare that to my Haynes AMC manual at less than 300 pages (.75 inches thick). The worst part of Haynes and Chilton manuals is the massive amount of boilerplate text and illustrations -- generic descriptions of "typical" repair procedures. You will often find that the actual part before you looks nothing at all like the one pictured! Armed with the Workshop Manual and a basic understanding of automotive repair, restoring and maintaining a DeLorean is surprisingly easy to understand. Actually accessing some of its nuts & bolts is a different issue altogether... Bill Robertson #5939
