Title: Chrysler or Plymouth Manual?
Post by: Gary Vickery on June 25, 2016, 06:24:15 PM
I recently bought a 35 Plymouth PJ.  I have the 35 Chrysler Master Maintenance Manual (I thought I was going to buy an Airstream and got ahead of myself).  Does anyone know if there are significant differences between the two manuals?  Would I be wise to but the correct manual?

Don't know how different the Chryslers were for '35 but generally they had bigger blocks which affected things. For example the Dodge/Plymouth block uses offsets on the big ends of the connecting rods but the bigger blocks don't. To be safe, you'll probably want to get a Plymouth manual.

OTOH, the same engineers designed both so there are lots of similarities and you might be okay.
