    I bought that book for $20 shipped. Read it once, and never did again. No useful info in that book that I couldn't get from the forums and few turbo dodge sites.

    Sold the book on ebay for $37 + shipping.

    Agreed... FSM is WAY more informative. Hell, it's not much better than Haynes IMO. However, if I was trying to hop up a carbed car ir might be helpful.... MAYBE...

    I have a copy I will probably never read...

    Good basic engine building info and excellent carb info however most of the parts they recomend are discontinuned

    BTW: if you want to piss off a dealership, call them and try to order parts out of a 20yr old mopar performance book.

    Are you kidding me. A Haynes is much more useful. I ordered one of these books 12 years ago. I was highly disappointed when I started looking for the turbo stuff.

    Remember to do what the book says: Don't use bleeds to up the boost, you might cause damage, only buy Mopar Performance Logic Modules from authorized dealers to increase boost levels safely and effectively.

    TIII? Masi? What are those? Ohhhh, how about we throw some TIII info in, just for the heck of it to make a 4th edition seem more updated.

    Re: If you don't own this book, get em now

    Meh. For $5 it's worth it for having an extra piece of litrature for our cars, kinda like spending $5 for a magizine that had an add for a TM. I have this place and a full set of 1989 FSM's for my car when I really need info.
    No fun cars any more :(

    Re: If you don't own this book, get em now

    yeah, it's deff. worth the 5 bucks for a book that you don't see much anymore. It's very helpful, and regardless if the parts are no longer made, it give yah great info on what they used, to compare it to whats being made out there now. And Hey.. It's 5.00! and it's not meant to be a service manual as stated directly in the book itself.

    5 bucks is nothing i rather spend 5 bucks on a book with 500 pages then a mag that shows one picture of TD. who cares if it doesnt have that much useful info its the history that i like about the book it shows what people 20 years ago use to do to their TD's.

    Book is a good read in the crapper, not so good of a read in the garage. Still worth $5 in my opinion.
