Can anyone here recommend a reliable source for finding Dodge workshop manuals, such as the Haynes or Chilton style, that provide basic information? I’ve already contacted Haynes, but they informed me that the manual I’m requesting is not published by Haynes and there’s no projected publishing date at the moment.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
 
We never recommend any kind of aftermarket manuals around here. We prefer strictly OEM factory service manuals. And I prefer printed FIRST EDITION manuals, because there's much less room for error and ommisions. The later the edition, the more "condensing" and mistakes you find. Not to mention going from print to a downloadable digital format......however those can be very convenient. I found the factory manual for my 64 Valiant on ebay very reasonably.
 
I have a Chilton's manual #6326 that covers Valiant/Duster repairs. Rarely if ever I use it, but much more compact than service manual. Copyright of the book is 1975.
 

Bishko was a big retailer of the service manualks both used and new (reprints)
Faxon sells some but they use cheap paper and sometimes 'water mark' by printing over the original. Use them only oif yoiu have no other choice (ie for assembly drawings)
 
I have some old Chilton, Motors, and Haynes manuals what year and model.
I have what we always called "The Big Pink Book". It's a Chiltons master manual from 64-72. It's an original first edition hard back. They were pretty good back then.
 
Like said, u will never go wrong with the factory service manual.
You can find an individual selling on FeeBay cheap enough if patient. Or post a wanted ad here.
I sold some I was done with other week cheap on here.
 
My neighbor volunteers at our library and they were cleaning out some old books in the basement storage. I bought a Chiltons for $1.

A parts book for your car comes in very handy at times.
