Re: Best workshop manual?…
apart from the rare original dealer manuals if you can find them, you might have to pull info from various sources incl the web.

Re: Best workshop manual?…
Before and since the internet I've 'survived' just using the Haynes Manual and the Lindsay Porter 911 Restoration book.
I suspect the Wayne Dempsey '101 Projects for your 911' is probably good, but I've never seen one.
I guess it all depends on how deep you need to go and for what year.

Pretty deep!.
I’m surprised no one’s done a more in-depth/ anoraky up to date manual since the Haynes one!, ok both books mentioned have been ordered from eBay … might save me boring/bombarding people with questions on here!…
Cheers

Re: Best workshop manual?…
The 69 MY is a one year only model and I suspect you will find very little on those unique details mentioned in the above books but as a general overview they should be fine.

They may not cover what you need though if yours is a ‘69 (i.e. all the unique details Mike mentions)

Re: Best workshop manual?…
I assume you know that the parts catalogues ("PET") can be downloaded from Porsche's website? Good for part numbers, obviously, but (in addition to the factory workshop manuals) I find them very useful as an overview of how things fit together.

Re: Best workshop manual?…
@ Matteo68 and 210bhp
I do definitely need genetic info- my engine was partly dissembled when I got it which obviously makes it more difficult…
But briefly what are the unique bits of the 69??… (it’s ok you don’t have to list them all! )
Thanks!!
