Looking for authoritative books on Porsche 901s

[callard]

An outstanding resource on the 901 is the factory shop manual. It has great pictures and assembly information on the car; body, suspension, engine and transmission. The other books tell you how to mod for performance. Porsche put out many iterations of the shop manual over the years so look on e-bay for the early versions.

hmmm... well, ebay has manuals from 63-72 for only $250... lol. Will Haynes do okay for $20? i used have a Haynes manual for my old '75 2002 and it did okay.

IMHO the Haynes manual is throwing away $20.00. Check out Rennlist.com or the Pelican Parts forums. There are a large number of DIY articles that are no cost and have better descriptions and pictures than the Haynes. I also noticed that Pelican sells the Bentley manuals. Based on my experience using one with my BMW, that would be better money spent.

You may also find the factory manuals in some of the Porsche for-sale forums.
When I had my 911, I purchased the factory manual on microfiche. If you could find a copy in microfiche, that would be a savings. I used the microfiche machine at the public library, and I am sure most library's still have microfiche machines.
