yes. it really is 'taken from manufacturers shop manuals" .... it's a
cd full of very bad xerox copies of the Bentley book. :( ... and i
mean REALLY bad xerox copies.

save your money. buy a Bentley or a Haynes manual. the Alldata stuff,
sold under the Popular Mechanics label at Autozone (and i guess other
chain auto parts stores) is junk. :( you're better off with the
Bentley or Haynes paper books.

however ... anybody wants one for an 88 bus, i'll sell it to you for
$15. :)
