I have probably about 20 of these, covering different years and models. They were a quick reference guide for workshop mechanics, giving torque settings, clearances, specifications etc.

Hope that answers the question! :)

Yeah those are cool.  I bought my first one for $5.00 and they have been going up ever since.  I have a year specific one for my '66.  I think I paid $35 for that one.  There is a lot of info in a little package.  Specs and tolerances for just about everything mechanical...

$35! :o Wow, I think I only ever paid $2–3 for any of them, and many were just throw outs from dealers. Hmmm, I'd better dig mine out and put them on eBay!  :D
