        Personally, I prefer searchable scans that convert font images to text. Lookup is far faster than flipping pages in a huge manual.

            My Acrobat Adobe Pro creates searchable files.

              I haven't been able to get anything out of this link, other than nonsense?

              I have the paper '91 factory service manual; but, a pdf version would be great to study with, share, etc.

                TPB link

                And magnet link

                It's on a 300mbps connection so it should work pretty well.
                So, I've gotten as far as where I'm supposed to give them my email address & create a password, with "Doom Media" to be able to get the free download.

                Am I doing this correctly? Looks like a lot of porno stuff, so far...

                  I think you are prob in the wrong place. I would install utorrent, to be able to actually read the torrent file. http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/co...n/track/stable
                  Then use the links above. There is no reason to give a email address for anything.

                  thepiratebay is notorious for being full of viruses, porn, malware, cracked warez... so dont click any links on that site other than the specific magnet or .torrent link.

                    Remember that it's searchable.
                    Ctrl + F for Find
                    Shift + Ctrl + F for Advanced Search
                    This worked for me; yippie!!!

                    I'm curious about at the beginning, the data for Capris? I don't think that's in the paper manual.

                    Otherwise, just a quick glance; and things seem familiar. What a great resource.

                      Well, I've looked through the whole pdf; which definitely isn't a copy of the paper factory Festiva service manual. There are lots of things specific to other FoMoCo vehicles, and even huge amounts of text from General Motors.

                      The Festiva specific drawings look as if the same, as in the factory paper Festiva service manual; though all the text is from another source-without the English as a second language feeling, of the factory paper service manual.

                      What would probably be a chore, though nice; would be this pdf, with only the Festiva specific materials?

                      I'd try to make a paper copy, as a good companion to the paper factory service manual.

                      No doubt, a lot of the non-specific items are old hat to more professional type mechanics; though for someone like myself, only concerned about my daily driver-keeping to the subject very specifically, keeps me focused-instead of the feeling of getting enrolled in an auto mechanics class, and/or going to the library and accessing a Motor manual, covering hordes of different models-with bare minimum tech data for each.

                      In the long run, since an etext; nothing is going to be too much to pack around, while feasibly of some use rather than not.
