In need of a good shop manual for a 68' Coronet?

[Lenny B]

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone recommend a good shop manual? I'm starting my first Mopar project which is a 68' Coronet and think having a good reference manual is a must. What's the actual name of your recommended one to have on hand?

Also, are there any "best" brands of after market sheet metal companies as well as any to avoid? I know I'm going to need a drivers quarter for sure.

Thanks in advance. Lenny B.

Mymopar has service for 69 Dodge Coronet it should work for you. They also have parts manuals, I've never looked at them.

As far as repo sheet metal I got - and most people on this site- use AMD - All Metal Direct. They produce some pretty good metal.

The parts manuals are actually more handy in some cases. They show all the parts in an exploded view which can help figure things out sometimes when the manual does not give you a good visual.

I got mine off ebay. Here's an original one for sale:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Dodge-...ash=item25d743f878:g:ugMAAOSwBt5ZIzX5&vxp=mtr

As it's an original the print quality will top any of the reprints which are more expensive & are probably just copies of the originals. The images in the reprints will probably be all plugged up/filled in and not the greatest reproduction quality.

Starting bid is cheap and no reserve.

Yep. Got mine for $32.10 with shipping. Half the cost of the reprints.

Found parts manual difficult to use from Mymopar.
Maybe I'm not desperate enough to figure out a way, I have a parts manual. Maybe a computer guy who knows how to run a split screen? Flipping pages is a pain on a computer.

I bought my factory service manual on amazon - if I remember right it cost me $50.
