I bought benhogan's 1990-603- 350SDL because my other gasser is almost dead and I need a back-up car. Pick up in mid December in NC.

However I have never owned a vehicle with a 603.9XX engine.

Is the manual separate? Electronic only?

Are they available among the faithful here at PeachParts?

How necessary is the 1990 maintenance manual for minimal things?

Special tools?

I plan to do all mechanical work myself after finishing the man-cave insulation, in which I will cordon off 30% of the bldg for a work shop and 70% will stay cold storage-- unheated.

So I'm prepping.

feel free to give (helpful) advice.

Thanks

PS TXJake, I didn't forget but I need a place to finish the car before you can get it.

Strel,

I am throwing in the W126 shop manual for free. It comes in 2 cd's. It should be all you need.
