I used a Clymers for quite a while, but found it to be more of a "take
off everything that is in the way, replace the broken part, reinstall is
the reverse of the above" kind of book. It has its place, but the wiring
diagrams are wrong, and it doesn't give much detail. It served me well,
but I finally bought a Bentley as I needed more info. Bentley seems to
assume that you already know how things work, as it doesn't tell much
about "how to" or what to look for, but the diagrams are worth the cost,
and it does speak about the westy and its variants.

I go mine from Amazon.com because I had a discount code that I needed to
use, but I would say that if you can buy it from one of the list
vendors, its a better place to invest your $$$$. I think it listed on
Amazon for about $75.
