well ill be working and realize i need some assitance from the book, that is the point when I would like the manual right at my fingertips, rather then having to walk in the house and print out some pages on the computer. Just preference, different strokes for different folks right?

I did jump on it. I sent a pm as soon as I saw 26th-Z's post. I realy appreciate the help from yall.

If some one needs a F.S.M for your Z get on EBAY and punch in."DATSUN SERVICE MANUALS" I just did it and got 54 hits.Alot are for trucks and other datsuns.But it is worth a shot.By the way there is a 74 260 one on there right now for $20.Better get it soon there is only 2 days left.Thinking about bidding on it any way just in case of a disaster i.e. flood, earthquake,fed up wife.
