This book is a valuable asset to anyone who owns one of these cars becouse of the info on the 6 cylinder engines. Info on 8 cylinder mopars is easy to find, but this book gives you all the specs and info on the 225s. My only complaint about this book is that it does not go in depth on the little 1 barrel Holley and Carter carburator in these cars, but Haynes also has a book covering the complete rebuild of the Holleys that is also aplicable to the Carters. This book stays beside my tool box when I am working on my Valiant.

This book is very valuable for who own or make repairs on those cars, but regarding engines it just mentions the 6-cyl units, forgetting the small0block and the big-block Darts. Onm the rest the book is good.

Manual probably has more information than I need. Lots of pictures and details. Restoring an old Dart so this will really come in handy. One note though, this wasn't called out in the details, but this specific manual is for the 6-cylinder version.

Thus far, it has been a useful companion, and it has the basics down fairly well. It covers all major subjects and their subsections, from engine to body. It has basic fault diagnostics, and service recommendations. I've yet to find false information or bad advice. Note however, there are illustrations that do not represent the whole range of cars this manual covers. They're correct for some, wrong for others.

That being said, it is a little short, and is missing information on certain parts. I've been restoring and fixing classic cars for years, so I like to think I know what I'm doing (don't we all). What I need is more detailed information on this particular car, and less of the general information. This book provides a good balance of both, but along with its length, it does tend to fall a bit short on the details. That's when you turn to the factory issued shop manuals.
