One thing you really need to ask is "why won't the service manual load?"

I assume you downloaded the '72 manual, which is a common .pdf file, and should display "on about anything." What do you have for a puter?

There's LOTS 'o good info in those, and worthwhile to "fix."

Maybe the file is corrupt? delete and download again?

Im guessing its because my laptop is old and slow.. Ive been able to load them before but for some reason today they wont load.
 
OK, you are evidently using a a machine with which you can get on the net, right?

I'm guessing you are trying to "load" the file directly from the internet. Instead, try saving the file on your desktop, and then opening it from there. At that point the file will be opening from your hard drive. Also try to figure out if you have a bunch of un-needed "junk" open, so close all software and open windows when you try and view the file.

And, what file did you download?

This is the 72 manual that AbodyJoe posted:

Even and old Windoz95 machine should be able to open this file. You do of course need a .pdf viewer, the most popular of which is "Adobe reader." But there are others

Are the bolts/studs I am pointing at in the photo called "steering knuckle bolts"? (I would have called them "backing plate bolts"). Thank you. (trying to find torque specs-they are a bear to loosen after 50 years) This is a 1965 Valiant I am working on.
